Hi, I'm currently a sophomore interested in going to medical school and am looking for advice on how to improve my chances.
I'm a Molecular Biology major at UIUC and an Illinois resident with a 3.7 gpa.
I feel as though my extracurricular activities are weak. I currently have volunteered in a local hospital for 80 hours (started at the beginning of sophomore year) and will continue volunteering. I haven't done much else because I decided to focus on improving my grades since they were low first semester of freshmen year. I plan on tutoring calculus this semester and finding a research position this summer in a biochemistry or molecular biology lab. Am I headed in the right direction with this approach?
Thanks for any advice.
