Whatsup...I'm about to finish my 2nd year right now(60 credits) and I wanted to know what I should do to best improve my chances of getting in to a decent med school.
My GPA currently is 3.4, i'm getting a 4.0 this semester so thats going to go up to a 3.6. My science GPA is probably the same(do intro psych courses count in science GPA?). I havent done any research. I did a summer volunteer job at a hospital for like 300 hours.... like 2 years ago.
I just started working as a personal trainer. I wanted to get an extra certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine to increase my income.......would this help my chances in applying for medschool at all? or should I focus my energy else where.
where do I go from here?? My plan was to continue working, start volunteering this summer and continue that for 1-2 years.
Oh and i'm taking the mcats next april. I've already taken bio/physics/chem, i just need to take orgo and i'll take the mcats my 2nd semester in orgo.
is there a list you guys follow from highest to lowest priority? I want to make sure i get everything down. thanks
