Hey guys.
I just finished off my freshman year as a Microbiology major with a minor in Arabic. I had all As in Chem 2, Arabic 1&2, a social studies class and Bio 2. Unfortunately, I got two B pluses in Calc 1 and 2 and I had to drop organic chemistry (which I am retaking over the summer). I'm filing for a medical withdrawal (I need 8 weeks of physical therapy) from orgo but I predict my overall GPA will be around 3.7 or 3.8. I've been volunteering at the hospital and a center for pregnant teenagers. I'm going to start volunteering at the public library over the summer as well in addition to a position as a director in the AMSA chapter at my uni. Also, I was considering applying to volunteer at a local clinic for 5 hours a week.
I was wondering what you guys suggest I do to bulk up my application because it's certainly not impressive right now. I know I have a lot of time to get it together but I'm a little concerned, especially about the grades I got in Calculus, to be honest...
Thanks!
