Psychology Jujitsu
Does this make me well rounded for any Medical School (esp. Ivy Leagues)?
I know I have to be maintain a good gpa & do very well on MCATS & complete some prerequisites, but if I can do that with my involvement in the following things listed below, will that make me well rounded to impress Medical School, including Ivy League Medical Schools?
If not, please give me some tips.
Here is my plan for Undergrad:
Major: Sociology & Psychology
Minor: Art
Other Courses: Biology, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, Statistics, English
Clubs:
– Running Club
– Pre-Med Society
– American Red Cross
– Jujitsu
Other Extracurricular:
– Research
– Volunteer @ hospitals
It sounds good pretty good. Only do it if you really enjoy these activities. Don’t do any activity just to boost up your application. Above all else, you have to maintain a good GPA particularly in your prerequisite courses for medical school and score well on the MCATs. Contrary to the other poster, medical schools do actually care if you’re a well rounded person with different interests but you also have to be a good student in the sciences. If you don’t have the grades and MCAT scores, it doesn’t matter how “well rounded” you may be. However, if you have good grades and exam scores in addition to participating in meaningful and long-term extracurricular activities, communicate well with others, and demonstrate a genuine interest in helping people, you will stand out compared to someone who just has good grades. Unfortunately, a lot of applicants to medical school also have those same qualities as it should be. The reason why medical schools want “well rounded” people is another way of saying that they don’t have pompous one-dimensional know-it-alls with absolutely no social skills who have difficulty relating to others. That personality doesn’t make for a good doctor.

knowing many languages useful for college admission?
I’m very fluent in french arabic and english. i have a very decent level of japanese(lived there for 1year 1/2 studying the language at a language school) i took chinese classes for about 6 months 2years ago and i intended on pursuing to learn the language. Now i’m curious if that would help me getting accepted at universities such as UCLA brown, duke, tufts, Michigan an arbor and the SAT required to do so (maths and verbal).Does activities such as martial arts and interesting essay(vast, atypical personal experience) make a difference in the decision? by the way i present French baccalaureate so if any info on the minimum grade required please do not hesitate. i shoot for majors like economics and east asian studies
It will certainly be helpful in life. As to college admissions, it really depends on how you learned these languages. They don’t usually give credit for things which you learned because of your family background or because you lived there, but if you took a lot of language classes or learned them on your own because of an interest in something, it would be helpful. Certainly extracurricular activities like your martial arts involvement are essential – the more, and the more interesting, the better. And the interesting essay definitely helps at most schools, as long as you are answering the essay prompt, and not just showing off. I don’t know what kind of grading the French bac uses, so I’m afraid I can’t help you there. Here, you would need at least a 3.8 minimum GPA for admission to the types of schools you mention.
