"I’ve got some free time this summer before starting as a pre-dental freshman. What would you suggest I do that could help me grow or prepare whether that’s related to dentistry, academics, or even broader skills?

I already have 30 shadowing hours under my belt, going into freshman year, and will continue shadowing. Besides shadowing, I do jiu-jitsu, and I know that doing meaningful things in the summer could help differentiate me in the future.

What are the strong activities outside of extracurriculars (clubs) that someone can do to differentiate themselves as a pre-health student (e.g., mixed martial arts, knitting, video games) ?

I currently train in MMA, wrestling, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and I plan to continue jiu-jitsu in college. Outside of sports, though, I haven’t really developed many other hobbies beyond playing video games.
