Summer POSSIBILITIES ^U^

Hello! I’m currently a junior in NYC and i’m stressing out over summer activities. To be blunt, I haven’t been using my summers very well at all (A lot of that is due to family/monetary issues). Anyways, I have been able to squeeze in some volunteer work here in there but since I’m a junior, I want to really utilize all the time I have left before I have to really buckle down and start my college applications. Basically, I was wondering if any of you knew of any good summer opportunities that I could do to not only enjoy myself but showcase that I’m dedicated? I was thinking of maybe volunteering at a hospital or trying to get a summer (or even better a year-round part time) job. I’d also be eternally grateful to hear what you guys are planning on doing this summer if you are in the class of 2016.

P.S. I have a 4.0 GPA and I’m a 16 year old black female who’s interested in medicine. I thought I should just include that if that’s to any help at all.

Definitely your local hospital since you want to work with med. If you’re interested in science consider applying for science research programs over the summer. NY seems to have the best opportunities! I always see programs in ny but not where I live.
But science programs is a plus
Good luck!
