One place for everything you're pursuing — scholarships, volunteer programs, jobs, research spots. Everything saves automatically in your browser. Four years from now, this list becomes your AMCAS Work & Activities section.

Volunteer & clinical hours log
Log every shift the week it happens — AMCAS asks for total hours per activity and dates, and reconstructing them three years later is misery. Two numbers matter most: clinical hours (with patients) and total hours.
| Date | Where | Kind | Hours | Note |
|---|
Tip: the "note" column is gold. One sentence about a moment you remember becomes a personal-statement anecdote later. Write down the moments, not just the numbers.
GPA planner
Play with the numbers and watch how much room you actually have. Credits so far + the average you hold from now on → your graduation GPA.
Reference points: averaging 3.5 from here ≈ 3.35 cumulative · 3.6 ≈ 3.43 · 3.7 ≈ 3.50 · 3.8 ≈ 3.58. See the GPA Comeback Plan for what each range opens up.
