Hi! I just joined this forum upon suggestion from a friend.
I am a 22 year old 4-year college graduate. I received my Bachelor of Business Administration in May 2018 (with a double major), graduating with a 3.7 GPA.
After working in business for some months after graduation, I revisited the idea of studying to become a psychiatrist.
Having pursued an undergraduate degree in business, with no pre-med or science focus, I am feeling directionless. From what I gather via online research, before applying, I will need:
Also, what type of volunteer work looks best? Is it okay to volunteer in one position for a long time period, or do I need multiple positions? I was considering volunteering in addition to applying to become a scribe.
Given the areas in which I'm lacking as a potential applicant (essentially every area), would it even be realistic to set a goal of applying in the year 2020?
I am seeking direction, essentially, in regards to where to even begin. Feeling very overwhelmed!
Thank you to anyone who takes time to read this and respond.

- Strong GPA in pre-med science courses / a pre-health post-bacc program
- Volunteer hours
- Strong MCAT score
- Possible research experience?
