As some of us in here are reaching that finish line, we all have successes and failures in our lives. And I was hoping to start a discussion for those who are in their freshmen on things we wish we would do differently if we were given the chance again.
I will start:
a.) I am fortunate to have been admitted to medical on my first try, but I wish I would have maintained better grades in undergrad. Even though I roughly had around a 3.7, I was recently passed-up for the Rhodes and the Soros because of a low-end GPA.
b.) I wish I spent more time taking challenging science classes and read more research articles, so I had a better background for tackling my BS section on the MCAT.
c.) I wish I worked-out and stayed in better shape by maintaining some sort of a schedule.
d.) I wish I had taken the opportunity to intern for the Surgeon General. Instead, I was stuck retaking the MCAT.
e.) I wish I were good at standardized tests. Lol.
