<p>1)Should I found a new club? Or joining bunch of them is enough?</p>

<p>Clubs do not matter as much in college. You are not going to experience a big admissions boost by joining the French club in college. Do not spread yourself too thin. Think about ways to involve yourself in a non-superficial way in the college campus and try to excel at something (i.e. if you are a math major, try to join the Putnam team, if you are a CS major, join the ACM programming team). You can involve yourself in campus sustainability programs and student government or other aspects that will allow you to do work that will help the college society and help you stand out </p>

<p>2) I want to Volunteer in Hospital? How does that sound?</p>

<p>If you are interested in medicine, you should do that. Try and see whatever opportunities you get. If you can volunteer in a specific field, such as getting EMT certification and volunteer as an EMT, that may be useful.</p>

<p>3) Doctor Shadowing, for pre-med. Should I do it now? maybe keep it after transferring.</p>

<p>You can do that any time. Going to a top school will not help you learn how to shadow doctors better. Again, look at the opportunities you have and evaluate them critically. Transferring will not necessarily help you to get into medical school unless you are at a 2 year school and have to transfer, as GPA, MCAT and research are primary considerations.</p>

<p>4)Should I Do a Research? I have not taken any science classes yet, Gonna Take Chem, Bio, Visual basic next term.</p>

<p>You should take science classes (ideally you should have already taken a few) and do well in them. Just try to communicate your interests and talents to your professor before trying to demand a research position in thier labs. During the summer, you can apply for some basic science research or you can do some next year during college. You don’t necessarily have to be published but showing that you are capable of doing research will help you a lot in the medical school process, even if you decide you don’t want to transfer.</p>

<p>5) Prep for SAT/ACT, now i am preparing my MCAT reading, hopefully it promotes my SAT reading too.</p>

<p>If your scores were very weak, you can prep to retake them but this shouldn’t be a huge focus because SAT/ACT are less weighted for transfer applicants.</p>

<p>6)May I take ACT after i take Science classes. Causes anyway I am an immigrant and came out of another system that is why have not taken SATs.</p>

<p>7)Can I take Science Subject Test After, Bio and Chem 1?</p>

<p>Haven’t heard of people taking subject tests in college. Call the colleges you want to transfer into and ask whether or not they consider these scores for transfers.</p>

<p>8)I am Considering To go to medical clinic with one charity company, but it may take 4-5 days out of study. I am planing right in brake. But we Arrive 4 days after class started.</p>

<p>I don’t understand this question. If it won’t hurt your GPA, I don’t see what is wrong with doing so. What will you be doing?</p>

<p>9)Tutoring Math? How does that sound?</p>

<p>Maybe. If you are good at math, this might be able to help you. </p>

<p>10) I am thinking to take Yoga classes, and maybe ballroom dance(this one takes a lot of time)</p>

<p>Whatever you think is the best use of time. If this will help you to relieve your academic stress and do better, go for it.</p>
