Hi guys, I'm fairly new here and am looking for guidance. I'm currently a sophomore in my second semester at a top 30. I currently have a 3.157 cumulative and a 2.964 science. I got a 2.437 my first semester because I partied too much and lost motivation. I didn't know if I wanted to become a doctor and lost sight. After evaluating myself during winter break, I tried to do better and got a 3.354 my second semester and got a 3.544 my first semester of sophomore. My sophomore year I started a work-study job for a small team that works with high school students in undeserved areas, started volunteering at my local hospital, got a research position at the same hospital I volunteer at, and am currently on two E-boards. Though I've shown some improvement, I feel outrageously incompetent and am looking for guidance. I am an Asian, which doesn't help too much when I apply to medical schools. Looking for any kind of advice please. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
