Swim Club Experience - is it Useless for BSMD

This was a counselor specific to BS MD applicants?

I’ll tag @WayOutWestMom . But here is my opinion.

Your student is applying to BSMD programs so needs a great high school record PLUS some of the things a medical school applicant would need…this includes things like volunteering with less privileged folks (volunteer in a soup kitchen, or a skilled care place, for example). If possible, and your state allows it for your student age, get EMT or CNA certification. Maybe work as a life guard (requires first aid and CPR too). Get the very best grades possible.

Swimming and orchestra are fine ECs.

What did this counselor suggest your kid needs to do??
