Hey, I need some advice with what to do this summer. I have just graduated from my undergrad in Biological sciences. I am a Canadian student looking to apply in both US and Canadian medical schools this cycle. I applied last cycle and received feedback from schools; my GPA and MCAT scores were fine, but my Personal activities were lacking. I think for the most part I scored low on the personal activity section (heavily weighted in Canada) due to rushing through the app (could've worded things better).
This summer I will be rewriting my MCAT, to improve on my CARS score which was a bit on the lower side. I also want to do something that I may add to my application (due October 1st for Canada), that can help improve my personal activities score. I would greatly appreciate ideas, advice, tips on what I could do this summer to up that section on my application. I know that long term commitments are what admissions usually look for, however at this point I have approximately ~4.5 months to do something that can hopefully spice up my application a bit. All advice welcome!
Thanks
