I'm currently taking courses at a community college before transfering to a UC. I've been reading a few forums, taking a look at various MDapplicant profiles, and I realize I need to get started with extra-curriculars asap.
I recently joined the pre-med club here at CC (first meeting tomorrow) and I have already started filling out applications for volunteer work at various hospitals in my area. I currently work a full time job, but plan on quitting to pursue something more related to what I'm interested in.
What would be an optimal part-time job to look for? The casino I currently work for offers EMT positions, but they do more guest safety work than anything. I'm looking for something that would look good on my med-school app as well as being practical.
I'm also looking in to summer programs such as SMDEP. One of the reqs is LORs. The website states it accepts students from CCs. As for as applying to med school goes, are LORs weighed differently depending on if they are from a Biology course at CC vs. a UC?
Thank you all for your time, this website has already answered many questions I have had. If anyone has any advice on top of what I have asked, I'm all ears
