Completed a finance internship away every summer of university. Was unhappy with courses and took sciences courses throughout time in school due to interest. Decided after talking to people in many fields to consider medicine, while working, shadowed physicians and set upon pursuing medicine as the field showed to hold much more meaning than Wall Street. Worked for a year in finance then completed post-bacc courses, upward trend (~3.6 gpa) for post-bacc courses compared to uGPA (not passionate about coursework in business).
Deciding if scribing would be worth the time while waiting to apply next cycle. Other changes/things that could strengthen the application? General Thoughts?
