Well basically I did a lot of searching on the internet, I found the hospital council thing because I was looking for work experience but found that instead. The other stuff I just found really. I volunteer after school and on the weekends. In total I probably volunteer 3/7 days a week for average 2 hours. I do karate as well so most of my week is extracurriculars. I am a very busy person
What universities are people considering?

I know this sounds uber cheesy, but registering to take the UKCAT makes me feel like the ball is finally rolling.

Registration is now open (in France)! And it's 12:21AM. :smile:
Ugh, just wish it would be open already!
I can't figure out how to register. I cannot find UKCAT on the scroll down bar!

I think it's "Academic/ Admission", then "UKCAT". :smile:
I can't find that, the only U options I have are Udacity, UExcel and UMUC :frown:
