<p>I'm looking on working hard to get my GPA to 3.6, and im thinking of volunteering at a local hospital my whole high school life, working as a student researcher at some good colleges over the summer before my junior year. I'm worried that i wont get into a very good pre-medical program that will help me get into medical school and i need some advice. I would be happy going to Temple if its a good pre-med school but i want to go somewhere that will be nice on medical school applications. Please give me advice on GPA, and etc that will help me become an aspiring doctor. It will mean a lot to me if i can achieve me dream and willing to do all the work necessary to get there.</p>
<p>I also had a 4.0 in gpa in two foreign languages (french and Spanish)</p>
<p>Pre Med is not a major. Its an advisory program and exists at vast majority of colleges. Getting into the college does not depend one way or the other on whether you are intending to do pre-med but instead on whether you can get into the college generally for whatever major you might apply for (and you can do pre-med with essentially any major although many choose to do a science major). At your stage, it is unknown what your chances will be for admission to any particular college.</p>
<p>Haha I agree with dion. If you wish to take premed courses just stick the following:</p>
<p>-Solid GPA (some colleges don’t care too much about freshman year)
-AP Bio, AP Chem, AP english composition (and any elective APs to show course rigor such as history, computer science, psych, etc. based on what you are good at)
-770+ SAT II for bio/chem/math
-2250+ SAT I is universally decent
-Try to get 4 years of medical research along with volunteering at hospital (150+ hours to look decent at least)
-Try to research something unique and publish yourself in medical journals (or do anything to get yourself recognized).
-Start a program to connect students with volunteer/research opportunities with local hospitals</p>
