any tips for a prospective pre med student?

<p>Is there really anything that i should be focusing upon to improve my chances? Granted, I'm already aware of the fact that you should keep your GPA high and have lots of extracurriculars, but is there really anything special or important that you should do? Also, I know it is a tad bit early for me to be caring (I'm going to be a sophmore this coming fall), but I really care about getting into the best pre med school as possible, so any tips or suggestions would be more than welcome. Thanks in advance guys!</p>

<p>AP sciences and look into jobs/research/volunteering that has ANYTHING to do with science or medicine. That's all I know, haha.</p>
