So I'm still very new to all this. I still work part-time as the executive pastry chef of a fine dining restaurant, am starting a long-term volunteer position at a local hospital that is a trauma 1 center, and am starting to pick up nonclinical volunteer opportunities whenever they become available. My question is more about the whole research aspect... Part of my major involves a semester of research and intensive writing about said research. I don't suppose that would be enough? I'm older, married, have multiple rental properties to deal with and we're going to try for our first child in a year or so. Between working two shifts a week, volunteering two shifts a week, taking a full-time course load (pretty rigorous too, I'll be taking microbiology, immunology, virology, molecular biology...) and dealing with familial responsibilities, I just don't see how I'd have any time to do research (past what is required for my major), maintain an excellent GPA and be able to study enough to slay the MCAT. Thoughts? Thanks..
