A) I won't need a 3.85 GPA at least because I go to Cornell where grade inflation isn't a problem. My vet went here and said he didn't know anyone with a 3.0 GPA who COULDN'T get into med school. Secondly, I got a ~3.85 GPA this semester taking all real classes. Similarly next semester I'm taking all the hard classes, not the pussy dumbed down ones for premed.
B) I looked over the MCAT recently with some book I bought (even though I'm between freshman and sophomore year), it looks easier than dogshit. I'm assuming the copy I had wasn't reflective of the actual difficulty of the test
C) I'll be doing research either spring semester or junior and senior year, and volunteer work starting this winter and the summers in between at Strong hospital in Rochester (and maybe some in Buffalo). I might also go to Africa to do some work to prevent the spread of Malaria, I got some advertisement about that not too long ago. Looks good
D) I'm bored because I'm just taking organic chemistry this summer, but at least I'm doing something
