What should I do before I apply to colleges and related programs/scholarships in order to have a competitive application that stands out?

I am getting ready to go into my senior year of high school and want to make the most out of it before I apply to colleges and related programs/scholarships. I am interested in doing biochemistry and animal sciences, considering double majoring. My long term goal is to go to vet school. I already work at a vet clinic, have lots of leadership and volunteer experience, get good grades, have shadowed veterinarians, and take many science/health classes. I have also been very involved inside and outside of school in a variety of activities. Lately I’ve tried to find more opportunities related to animals. I feel like I’m in a good place for applying to colleges but is there anything I should be doing to stand out? I want to apply for competitive programs such as Purdue’s Veterinary Scholars Program.

How do you discover the medical profession that most suited you the best?

As a college student I know I want to be in the medical field, I have kept my options open, but I haven't been able to truly explore all the careers available. I am hoping that someone who once stood in my shoes would lend me a few words of advice from their experiences. I also am curious to know what schools UC, CSU, or private schools are better suited for pre-med or medical school. Any extra information relevant to this topic would be helpful. Thank you for your time and effort, have a blessed day!

What pathways, scholarships, schools, and careers do you recommend for a student interested in helping others in either a medical or psychological way?

I am a 9th grader and a part of the medicare pathway at the Career Elevation and Technology Center. I love helping people and don't want to be around a computer the whole day.
