<p>Have you considered applying to VCU's guaranteed acceptance into MCV program? You have a great chance there!</p>

<p>And how do you get to volunteer at hospitals? The ones where I live don't allow kids under 18 to volunteer, so I'm screwed if I want to show interest in medicine through vol. work.</p>

<p>Thanks I'll be sure to look into that one, but as for your dilema... I really don't know, you could write them a letter/resume, and try to prove to them your mature enough to handle a hospital setting. Start out by volunteering at a nursing home, I'm sure you dont have to be 18 there. Also try to get into hospitals farther away from home. I hope I helped...</p>
