Hello all!
As I said I am a new member to the forums.. However I have spent 2 years or so browsing and reading through the forums on a semi regular basis. I just wrapped up my sophomore yeah and have a current cumulative GPA of 3.54 not including this spring semester. I've knocked out gen bio, gen chem and physics and I'm hopefully taking organic chemistry this summer. I say hopefully because I haven't actually enrolled as the class is currently full but I'm just going to show up on the first day and hopefully someone will have dropped and I can get written in.
Work: I've been a valet at the local hospital for a year now.. Although the it's not the ideal job it at least got my foot in the door and I've met a whole lot of the people who work there. I just got a much better job working as a caregiver in which i will be working in 1 patients home for 40 hours a week. He's about 25 and has chrons disease as well as a developmental disorder. This should give me plenty of clinical hours, right?
Volunteer: I'm starting to volunteer at hospital I'm a valet for here next week. Unfortunately I have no volunteer experience... So I'm pretty far behind. Hopefully this volunteer gig with the hospital works well and will lead into some shadowing.
Research: none. My college has a biology research program that lasts the entire summer.. This is something I will be applying for next summer and be pursuing heavily.
Goals: my goal is to get accepted into medical school! My dream school is university of Washington because my family is from Seattle, my grandpa graduated from medical school there, I'm in love with Seattle and it's a great school. I understand that this is a great school and my GPA and ECs are nowhere near where they need to be to get accepted there. I also have interest in u of Utah as well as numerous DO schools here in the PNW. Also, Boise is getting a medical school that i would potentially have the opportunity to be the first graduating class of. Sketchy.
Thanks for taking time to read/respond. I would really appreciate any advice you guys are willing to offer! Cheers!
