I'm a freshman, will be a sophomore next year. Lately, as I've been reading this forum, I just feel like I'm not doing enough. I'm currently in a drama club and volunteering at a hospital, but nothing else. I'm not in research or shadowing physicians left and right. I'm not the president of anything. Heck, I don't even have a job!
What concerns me is that my schedule next semester is going to be PACKED. I have class everyday essentially from 9-5. The gaps in between are three hours, so definitely not enough time. I want to work, but it's just not realistic.
I feel I'm going to end up a junior with nothing under my belt to show I'm dedicated to medicine. That I want to be in medical school. That at least one medical school would want to accept me.
Do you have any advice? I'm double majoring in biology and English (part of the reason I have a packed schedule, but actually it's my science classes that start and end late, with my English being in the middle of the day).
