I briefly looked for an already existing thread on this topic, but I didn’t find anything right off the bat.

I’ll be graduating from high school in a few weeks and starting my pre-med track at a university in the fall. My question is: Do the things I do this summer matter to med schools? I know that nothing I’ve done in high school will have any value to them, but what about the summer between high school and college?
I’m planning to continue my volunteer positions at the local hospital and at a volunteer-run medical clinic, in addition to shadowing a local physician, and I’m also looking for a part time job. Any other suggestions on things to get involved in over the next few months?
Thank you!
