Hi everyone,
I'm currently a 3rd year in university. My current stats are:
3.4 cGPA, 3.1 sGPA
-1 year of Neurology research
-No current clinical experience
-20 hours shadowing M.D. and counting
-Have not shadowed a Podiatrist
-3 months Tutoring underserved kids
-6 months Helping provide the homeless with free furniture
-Will take the MCAT Summer 2017 in September
For getting into podiatry school, must the clinical experience be podiatry-related? Or can it just be general, such as maybe serving as a clinic assistant?
What should I do for the next two years to make my application look stronger?
Also, if I take the MCAT on September 2017, does this mean I will take a gap year if I'm planning on graduating from my 4-year university in June of 2018?
Thank you for any advice you guys may have.
