Application Question pls give me feedback!!!

Please note that I've had 2 months of high school since I'm in 9th grade, and I'm only 14, so many medical opportunities are closed off for me. I won't be emphasizing anything, just listing so I don't get hated on for stretching everything out.

In no specific order

  2. St Cecilia Philharmonic Orchestra-top group of youth orchestra ensembles
  3. Future Medical Leaders Club First Year Member- a medical group that will be HOSA next year, but starting off this year so we do medical projects/volunteer work.
  4. USABO Club Leader and Founder, Student Advisor, etc. (one of two in the state)- I founded a Biology Olympiad Club at our high school and gathered around 45 people in the first few weeks, and will lead to prepare for the USABO Test.
  5. RHS Rotary Interact Club Member-In a club for community service, working with the community volunteer council.

its def saturated, but like it depends on what u did. like the insta ones or the crappy ones will hurt but the good ones will help u. although, helping u in apps should never be your priority.
