How I'm trying to improve my application:

• Obviously, the test score needs to be a minimum 32-33 for ivies (with QB) so I'm retaking in July and September.
• Start an awareness initiative regarding how rural cultural norms/ provider shortages negatively affect health care outcomes due to delayed care
• Volunteer a crap ton with my emt certificate to get clinical hours for medical school + application (goal: at least 200 hrs)
• Tutor for anatomy
• Raise money (again) through girl scouts to do one or all of the following (depending on funds):

-provide CPR/AED training to members of the community bc we are very underserved health care wise

-purchase Stop the Bleed Kits and provide training to community

-donate money to local/volunteer Emergency Medical Service Agencies to purchase equipment

• Maybe attend paramedic school if I can find a way to fit it in before college

Please give me a chance me with what I have now and one with what I hope to have later!! :)
