I'm 17 year old in Scotland, at a state school. I'm hoping to apply to study medicine this year. I'm studying 6 Highers (one in my own time), and in all honesty it's not the grades I'm concerned about. As far as extra-curricular things go, I'm not so sure.
I know this list sounds kind of stale, but bear with me please.
I have 2 weeks of work experience shadowing doctors, and watching surgeries.
I'm taking up voluntary work at a centre for the elderly.
I'm a member of one of the top athletics clubs in Scotland.
I play in several city-wide orchestras, as well as my own school's windband.
I have the Chief Scout's Gold Award (I made the mistake of not doing DofE though)
I'm a prefect in school.
So as far as the whole "You have a life outwith school" area is concerned, how does this stack up? Are there any glaring holes I need to fill? Thanks.
Also, first post!
