My finals ended so far and I was happy to see I got all A's, and after all the work I'm looking forward to some relaxing 😀

But other than that I'm going to be volunteering at Princeton hospital and I'm trying to find a job. I wanted to work at a doctor's office but at this point I'll be lucky to get a job as a waiter.

So what are you guys doing this summer? In general and things relating to pre-med.
 
I'm in the same position as you! I have two volunteer positions lined up (which I am thankful for) but nothing in the paying variety 🙁 a doctor's office/medical related would be GREAT but i am just hoping i am landing any source of income
 
I am going to be drinking ALOT of beer at the beach all summer, doing absolutely nothing. 😎


Oh.... and also frantically hoping that I get in off of one of four waitlists :scared:
 
Well seen as I just graduated and will be starting med school in the fall, I intend to do as much relaxing as possible. So my plans include watching the entire Grey's Anatomy series (which I've already started doing...I know I'm a dork), working full time, and visiting friends I haven't seen in years in Texas for a week, among other miscellaneous activities (namely spending as much time at the beach as possible). I'm SO ready to not have summer classes! 😀
 
Research, research, classes, MCAT, and more research. Last summer was so much better...
 
Maybe people should state what year they just finished as well as it seems to be dependent on that.

I just finished my freshman year so no real MCAT prep yet. I should probably get a head start with some orgo though :\
 
working in the ER, taking A&P, maybe going to florida.
 
Research, Volunteer at the hospital oncology department, Have FUN (Yeah!)..and Study for MCAT (the not so fun part)...Hope the summer goes well for all of you guys!
 
Research, complete secondary applications, take an art class...and chilling, lots of chilling...
 
Work at fire dept😍
Work in ER( new hospital!)😀
Shadow a few docs( saw some fun surgeries the other day):corny:
Organic Chemistry(I and II)😕
 
Volunteering, then research at a SURF program, then travel to see my parents, probably. All the while attempting to teach myself physics. Ugh.

I am excited about the non-physics parts, though.
 
Just got back from my volunteering interview and found out the specific section I'm in counts as an internship....I guess that's good.
 
Differential equations + Research + Shadowing/More volunteering ...fun fun fun
 
Seeing as it's the summer before I start Med school
Hawaii Trip 10 Days
Camping Trip 4 Days
Europe Trip 21 Days
My Graduation Party
California 11 days
Insert mini golf, bowling, BBQ'ing, landscaping around the house, and random fun things with friends during my "off" time. 😀

Hmmm.

I take the MCAT in two weeks. After that is over it is looking like this:

-Complete research on intrinsic factors affecting neurological disorders. Present reserach at international conference, submit first author abstract. Confirm establishment of fourth clinic/connection in third different country for my nonpofit organization. Deliver $40,000 worth of raised grants to undeserved children in New Mexico. Win the 39th annual Iron Man competition....

Then:

-Head to the beach, seek out cougars and MILFs.

-World of War Craft.

-Facebook stalk girls for summer bikini pics. Oh so you enjoyed your trip to Atlantis? Oh, Well so did I, so did I. 😀

-Watch dirty movies.
