basically:
1 sem left before application cycle
I feel like I am an incredibly basic premed pls help
Activities and GPA
-120 clinical volunteering hours as a lead EMT for school events and hospital volunteer. Projected 200 hours
-270ish nonclinical as a counselor for children whose parents have cancer and president of student run soup kitchen. Projected 600 hours.
-150 hours research. I was in a lab last year but I quit because the research didn't interest me and the atmosphere was suffocating and was incredibly toxic. This year I'm in a much nicer lab but things are going a lot slower since we're just starting out on a new project. Projected maybe 200 hours?
-Worked as a TA this year, lotta really character building experiences from that
-gonna do a ****ton of shadowing this break, my location has literally no doctors that let you shadow, and i have no familial connections so kinda freaaking out about that but will get that figured out. Wanna try and fit in 40-50 hours before apps? hopefully more if i can
taking mcat next sem, projected score 515-520
-gpa should be 3.6-3.7ish
What are some ways i can improve (other than shadowing)?
Also, what are your tips for getting shadowing in an area where there's literally none?
Thanks!
