Hi, so I’m a senior that is most likely going to go to UC Riverside this fall for a major in biology. One of the biggest mistakes I made in high school was that I was too laid back my freshman+sophomore year and thus had to work much harder junior year to pull up my GPA but it still hurt my chances for college acceptances. I don’t want to make that same mistake again for college when applying for med school. Is there any advice you can give that I can start on my freshman year in college so I have a good chance at a top med school? I don’t want to settle for middle tier schools anymore, I really want to start aiming high.
Any advice is welcome!
-Thanks!

P.S: I’m majoring in biology and wish to specialize in neurology in med school, if that helps.
