Hi everyone,
I'm looking to start the process for applications. Here's a bit about my history, I'll give the basic rundown.
About myself: Hispanic, adopted into a mixed family, step father was military, first generation to graduate college, from a small town, no one in my family knew a thing about soccer.
Finished college in (2013) in 4 years with 3.61 GPA (would be higher but last semester I was gone after I signed first pro contract). 505 MCAT. President and founder of Caduceus Pre-Med society for 2 years. Organized volunteer hours with Baptist children's home on holidays and worked with Habitat for Humanity building houses. Volunteered to coach under 18s with my team in Australia for the season.
NO CLINICAL OR SHADOWING EXPERIENCE.
Soccer experiences include: COLLEGE: 4x all conference, 3x all region, 3 time all academic, scholar athlete of the year. Signed pro, broke my ankle, then came back and played in australia (won most valuable player, players player) and then played 2 seasons in Sweden. During injury and working back into shape I worked at an under served school as a permanent sub for 6 months as the English teacher. Also started an after school soccer program for students to come play. Also started a company while playing to help other players continue playing and living their dream after college (very few opportunity here in the US).
In the end, I'm thinking about practicing as an EMT-b for a few months to get more clinical hours. Are they necessary? Just want to know thoughts on getting into a medical school somewhere. Moreover, I have considered the D.O. route.
