<p>But everyone who says "chance me" looks 5,000 times better than me...I'm only a sophomore but honestly I'm so worried. This is what my life looks like for the fall:
5:30 - Wake up. Shower. Get ready.
6:30 - Bike to school
7:10 - 0 period: strings. I play the viola :)
8:00 - School starts. Honors biology, AP Euro, honors fundamental writing and literature, honors geometry/trig (we take Alg 2 first..), Spanish 3, gym, Hebrew scripture (Catholic school)
2:37 - School ends. Do homework until 3:30 when volleyball practice starts..
3:30 - Volleyball...
6:00 - Volleyball ends. Mom comes to drive me to the hospital where I'll volunteer for 3 hours...
9:30 - Get home. Shower. Eat dinner. Do the homework associated with college prep schools...</p>
<p>Where do kids find time for internships and for all this volunteer work!?!?</p>
<p>Summer my friend, summer. As long as you have your hospital volunteer hours, some shadowing (ask your hospital’s volunteer department for opportunities) you would meet the pre-reqs. Go further with research (contact professors at a local university) or gain medical experience in other ways such as Emergency Medical training. But all of this is irrelevant unless you have excellent standardized test scores (2300+/34+) and good gpa/class rank (top 1-5%, though depends on the program). But your a soph… you’re doing what you can and should relax. Just try to get the shadowing and keep up those grades!</p>
<p>hmmm interesting i want to do bs/md too. i’ve been wondering about doing something with emergency medical services but i have no idea how. i thought you have to be like an adult to do this…anybody know?</p>
<p>Clearly, you’re unhappy, which is why you are posting here. Why do you care so much for bs/md programs? Don’t get me wrong, I’m attending one this fall, but if you’re so stressed out as a SOPHOMORE IN HIGH SCHOOL what do you think is going to happen later on?</p>
<p>EMS as a HS student is difficult. What I did is get AHA certified for CPR and AED. You can take courses, and they’re easy and fun. I think that in smaller towns/cities, getting EMS training is easier at a young age, but in big city centers it’s almost impossible.</p>
<p>Wait, what…? You’re volunteering in the hospital every single day of the week? If you’re looking for some time, I’d suggest reducing the hours that you spend in the hospital. I think 21 hours each week in the hospital is far too much…especially since you’re only a sophomore. Most people who post their “stats” have around 200 to 300 hospital volunteer hours in their entire high school career. Just my opinion.</p>
