I am going into my senior year this fall and I am questioning whether or not I should even apply for medical school this summer.
I currently have a 3.5 gpa
35+ hours of research
about 15 hours volunteer service
0 shadowing.
Over this summer I plan to volunteer as much as possible. I am confident I can get at least 120+ more hours. I also, obviously, plan on shadowing and hoping to get as much as possible with that. In addition to that I will continue doing research. I am going to ask my professor if I can get more hours.
I have worked as resident assistant for the past year(as well as this summer) and have already been rehired for next year.
The original plan was to apply at the end of the summer semester so that my new grades(for classes I am taking this sumer) would be put in. I would take the MCAT in August and hope to get a good enough score(I am currently studying through books I have purchased).
Is this plan even doable, or should I just put off applying until next year meaning I would have to take a year off in between getting my bachelors and hopefully attending medical school.
Any advice is appreciated.
