Am I doing too much?

Look into shadowing opportunities. As part of the application process for BS/MD programs, they’ll want to know that you’ve seen what a typical physician’s work day is like. This is to give an honest assessment of the long hours and years of training. You don’t need to go crazy with the shadowing hours but I’d say at least 100 hours between now and the time you apply.

How would I go about shadowing? My fathers not a doctor but a pharmacist, would that count or should I look into finding people in my church to shadow? Would it be preferable if they weren’t related to me?

This is difficult as high school student, I know. But keep your eyes peeled for opportunities.

Do I ask a college professor or would AP Capstone be good enough, or both?

They have a medacademy and a medmasters academy. I have to wait a year or two before I apply to them though.

Thanks.
