How should I prepare for medical school if I switched majors halfway through college?
Good morning everyone, I recently decided to go on a career path to become a physician. I'm currently in my 2nd year of college and will transfer to a 4 year university (UTA Arlington) in the Spring of 2026. I'm currently attaining my Associates of Science and have taken a majority of science classes and some math classes. When I transfer to a 4 year, I will need to take only math and science classes since I've finished all my core classes. While researching, I found that people on the pre-med track take the MCAT during their junior or senior year. I'm soon to be a junior in college, but I haven't prepared for the MCAT as I recently decided to head on this career path. Because of this, will I have to take it in my senior year or take a gap year before applying to med school so I can study for the MCAT? Other than the MCAT, I found that students would already be doing research during their undergrad or have apprenticeship/internships. I haven't done any of those yet, but I've been researching opportunities near me. I found a PCT apprenticeship near me, but there are currently no openings. In the meantime, I plan on getting a certificate in BLS/CPR. Are there any other ways I should prepare myself for med school? Thank you for your time.

Why is it not important to be CPR trained now?
As someone who worked in a water park for three years, this week in RA (Resident Advisor) training they told us they didn't want to certify us because there's not a "high probability" since we don't really have older guests in our facilities. I was a bit bothered by the fact that two weeks ago my team pulled a 4-year-old out of the water with no pulse and did CPR. Anything could happen, anywhere! #CPR #Reslife #ExpectTheUnexpected
