Here's my situation, weak extracurricular and aiming for mid-tier schools. GPA ~ 3.71, biology major in a decent undergrad. I have done 200+ volunteer hrs in the ER and continues to. Shadowed an opthamologist and a pediatrician, totaling ~50 hours. I was a tutor for elementary kids for 2 years. Club member for two years but no distinct leadership position but since I started doing research and started a side job, I have stopped attending the club. Been doing research in a biochemistry lab for 2 years (possibility of a 2nd author by the end of the year). Considering non-clincial volunteer work for next semester. Have not taken the MCAT yet. I am hoping to apply this upcoming cycle, but with strong letters of recommendation, a good MCAT score, and compelling personal statement, will they help with my weak ECs. Any advice much appreciated! Thanks!
