Hello everyone, I am new to this forum but have been reading it for a few weeks now. I was hoping to get some suggestions as to what to do to increase my chances of getting into medical school.
My situation is this.. I graduated high school 4 years ago and went onto a 2 year nursing school immediately after graduating. Due to personal reasons I had to withdraw after 2 semesters. My grades were okay, but not great. I took 2 years off and worked in my local ER as a nursing assistant. I also worked part time in a nursing home as a med tech. Fall of 2011 I took classes at my local community college and did well. I did get one high C though. This semester I transferred to a university and am enrolled in the respiratory therapy program. I plan to graduate in 2015 with a BS in Biology and chemistry minor. I also just started volunteering weekly at a local hospital.
What else should I be doing in the mean time while completing pre-reqs? I appreciate any suggestions! Thanks!
