Hi. I am a first year. I am working my ass off and giving my all and even after all of that getting "B's" in most of my classes.
A lot of my class members are parts of clubs and are class representatives and stuff like that, but I am worried that if I devote time to anything other than studying, I will get C's in my classes.
To those in residency... how much did getting involved in a club during the school year help you in getting a residency? I know I am not going to be in the top 15% of my class (even though I do nothing but study).... and really just want to make sure that I can land a 3 year residency program somewhere and have a good career...
Essentially... will I be at disadvantage to others when applying to residencies if I am not involved in clubs? I am just really worried that if I get involved my grades will suffer.
Thanks for any insight.
