Any sugestions on what I could do to improve my college application? I’ve considered starting a club among other things, but I feel an internship from my area would be great. How does everyone search for them. I only have a 3.5 UW gpa, and live near Atlanta, Georgia. I want to pursue the medical field and have applied to a couple of hospitals to volunteer in during the summer. Hoping there are other things I could do, if so please let me know.
Does your school have a “medical program” type thing? My school has a “medical academy” and the teachers require all the seniors to get a medical internship- If your school has something like this, I would ask the teachers for help. If you can’t find a medical internship, I would get a job. This will both strengthen your college application and help you save up for college.
If you would be will to tell me a little more about yourself, I could look through my information. Are you low income or first generation to go to college or a minority? Would you do a summer program that costs or is free a necessity? Are you willing to be away from home?
If you are set on medicine, volunteering at a hospital is a really good idea.
