Hi, I'm a premed student and I just completed my first two undergraduate years of college. I am now starting my final two years at USF.
As of now I have a 3.7 GPA, I started an amsa chapter at my school, I am an AMSA health equity scholar,AMSA Community Public health participant, and am going to doing an internship at AHEC which includes clinical shadowing.
I was hoping that I could get some advice from current medical students on what I should focus on (besides high grades and EC's) in order to stand out as a medical school applicant.
Everyone always says lots of EC's and keep up your grades, but that goes without saying. How important is research? What else do they look for and what do you think made you stand out.
Thank you to all of you that take the time to help me out. I know you're busy so I really appreciate your responses.
