These are really great goals Akash!! I personally used this app to track my grades in undergrad.

They’ve got a really amazing NASA clerkship you can apply for during your 4th year of med school, or during residency, or as an attending also I know of several people whose artistic and musical talents really helped them get into medical school. RowanSOM has this music in medicine program and it’s always looking for future students that can be part of it.

Nice Job!

These are great goals! I know a lot of people underestimate the MCAT and then are rudely surprised by their first standardized exam. One of the nice things is that studying for the MCAT will definitely be a preview of the type of studying you’ll need to do for the Step 1 / Level 1!

Keep up the great work on the goals!
