Welcome to SDN yellowfinguy!

It's great to hear that you're pursuing med school and have a great passion for medicine. In terms of where you are right now, I'm assuming you'll be taking the newer MCAT. So take the time to really research what the exam will entail. The key things to put yourself in a prime position to succeed is to really master your pre-req courses. Doing this will only make MCAT prep easier. Two, get your GPA as high as possible, especially your science courses. Three, find that one non-cliche reason you're pursuing medicine and write a remarkable personal statement. Obviously you should do research, shadow, volunteer, and do other activities but the key thing is quality over quantity. Work hard, don't take shortcuts, do your part and things will work in your favor. If you have any specific questions, msg me anytime. Good luck!
