How serious are you about becoming a doctor? Really serious? Heart set on it? Always wanted to be a doctor?

Or…just…I’m smart and therefore I should be a doctor?

Are you retesting? Are you going to take the ACT as well?

I’m asking because your SAT scores are modest for successful premeds and therefore you really should NOT add in a sports activity that will take a good bit of your time.

It will also be hard for you to fit in the lab req’ts since many of those are held in the afternoons.

My son has two housemates who were former college athletes. Both did their premed prereqs AFTER college because they knew that their sports req’ts would not allow adequate attention to get a high GPA.
