Your ECs will eventually check off the things that we look for; but nothing about your ECs currently stands out. The other parts of your application (GPA, MCAT, LORs, etc) will need to make up for the rather generic ECs.I am going into my junior year and I feel like my ECs are really far behind compared to most other pre-med students. I want to apply without taking a gap year but I might need to take one to boost my application.
Here is what I have so far:
Hospital volunteer (direct patient interaction) - 60 hours ( plan to have at least 200 by next summer)
Scribe ED - 120 hours
Scribe Outpatient - 60 hours (plan to have 500 hours by time of application)
Research - 40 hours (Project wasn't going anywhere due to lack of data/interest so it was discontinued)
Non-health related club Founder/vice president - 50 hours.
Shadowing - 15 hours (plan on getting getting more since I really enjoyed this experience)
What I have lined up for fall semester:
-University level/elementary level tutoring
-Restarting a health related club
What I want to do after fall
-More Research
So my question is am I on track. It feels like I have so little compared to my friends who are applying with me next cycle.
