A good idea is to find something about which you are trully passionate. Whether it is playing an instrument, volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, running your fraternity/sorority, etc. From what I gather from some of my friends and relatives, an important aspect of medical school admission is showing the school that you can feel passionate about something. Basically, if you did your premed, took the MCAT, spent the time to write out you application and answer your secondaries, most medical school will see you have some impetus to study medicine (you would be crazy to do all of this if you weren’t excited to be a doctor). In general, medical school admission committees will tend to admit a person who shows the ability and the drive to pursue his or her passion to the fullest extent.
