Interested in the Pre-Med program
Hey everyone,
This is my first post here, I've been a quiet lurker for some time now. Quick intro on myself and then to my question..
I'm currently 21 years old and I've earned my bachelors in Economics after jumping from major to major for a little while. Long story short, I got discouraged and distracted along the way. I am back on track now and I would like to finish my pre-meds and go into the med program at Antigua. I have finished Chemistry 1, Chemistry 2, Calc, Physics 1, Bio 1,2, English and whatnot.
At my University, my GPA is around 3.0, but my first 45 credits which I earned at a community college when I was 17-18yo have a disgusting GPA of around 2.4ish!
For my extra curricular activies, Ive been shadowing a physician weekly for quite some time now, and ive been active in some clubs throughout college, all while being employed several hours weekly. Also, I volunteered in a refugee camp in the Middle East for a couple weeks in two of the past summers. In addition I've gone through some major lifestyle changes such as losing 80+lbs, and have fixed many flaws in myself such as laziness, lethargy, carelessness and gluttony which all came along with it!
Any hints you can offer? Chance of getting accepted? I have no fear of living on the island, as I've lived/been to much more unstable countries. I know I have the dedication and motivation now to do well and excel, but what is the best way to represent and show this to those who decide my fate with AUA?
