“starting junior year behind on pre-med track”

realized I'm behind on pre-med track, lacking clinical hours, volunteer hours, and research experience

What I wish I knew
"started building extracurriculars earlier"
If I could tell you one thing
"prioritize meaningful experiences over checking boxes, consider gap year for longitudinal experience"

Clear regret.
