Hey guys, quick question. I am a Junior Bio major, taking the MCAT in april 06, and have a 3.9gpa. I have plenty of volunteer hours in the operating room, and lots of extracur. activities. I am just wondering if the fact that I have never had a "real" job, other than tutoring engineering students for 8$ an hour, is going to be detremental to my applications. I am asking because this summer will be my last opportunity before I start applying to med schools. I have many options. I can work at a normal 9-5 job in my home town, I can study abroad, or I can volunteer like last summer(120hrs.total) in the OR. I am also fairly certain that because I was such an excellent volunteer last summer, that I could get a paying job as an orderly for like 9$hr. What do you guys think would help my chances out the most? Thanks
