Need some advice

Hey I'm currently a junior and am applying this July. I was just wondering what advice you guys could give me to help my application. I currently have a 3.85 cumulative gpa and a 3.82 science gpa, hopefully by the time I apply I will have a 3.89 and a 3.85. I'm taking the MCAT's in April so I don't have a score yet. My extracurriculars are pretty weak, I am in a bunch of honors clubs and pre medical clubs that I attend regularly to meetings and some events but I don't have a position in any of them. I've done volunteer medical research at a hospital for a summer and intermittently during my sophmore year. Other than that I don't have much other than some scholarships. I am planning on re-starting volunteering at my local hospital (I've done 100+ hours in the past doing patient transport, but it was during high school), and am hopefully shadowing some doctors during the winter break. Also, I in the works of getting research for my spring and next fall semester. Is there anythign else you guys can recommend me doing? Thanks a lot in advance.

 

Thanks for all the advice. I plan on including the high school volunteering in my AMCAS, thanks for the heads up. Would the volunteering at a hospital be considered clinical experience, or did you consider it as a humanitarian service? I know that I am lacking in leadership experience, but there is this club that I have a small position in and helped found that helps organizes events to encourage studying; for example at the end of every semester we hold an event in the student center that has food and coffee for the students. Do you think that would count as leadership since I helped organize the events or would it be more under extracurriculars? Thanks again for all the help.

 

Thanks for all the great advice I really appreciate it. I'm glad it's not too late to show some of my strengths before application time.
