Somemom: I like your name. In regard to the discussion, I do love my sport. I simply question whether it is worth changing my college schedule/experience for. I feel I would love to simply do intramurals as well. The choice is really something I will have to make for myself. I just wanted to know how important extracurriculars are for med school admissions because I am virtually clueless. If anyone else has any opinions on the original question, that would be awesome.

Another question: Besides research, EMT work, and writing for my school health journal, what are other great extracurriculars? I know what your passionate about. I personally am interested in public health/international medicine and plan to do peace corps in South America to perfect my spanish and experience international medicine. I have already done Americorps. I’ve thought of becoming involving in scouts as an adult leader because Scouts really shaped me as a young man. What would be other great extracurriculars to be involved in? How are the ones I am already thinking of?
