I am working 20 hours a week as a medical scribe while also studying to retake MCAT, volunteering, and shadowing. I’m thinking of taking an additional job working 18-20 hrs a week at a grocery store to have more income and also because I feel AdComs might view me unfavorably otherwise.
I’ve heard that having parents who work in healthcare may put me at a disadvantage since it’s seen as having a privileged status (which is understandable, but I do try to work hard and haven’t asked my parents for much help).
I am hoping to submit an application in June. Can taking this 2nd job really benefit my application and show a respectable worth ethic? Or should I focus on volutuneering/ shadowing/ retaking MCAT?
Thank you
