-100+ (and counting) hours with a non-profit organization that benefits homeless/very low-income children in the Philadelphia area
Tutoring/Leadership:
-Two years as a TA for economics (around 400 hours)- includes tutoring, exam proctoring, grading, etc
I was basically in charge of running the class Facebook page and organizing reviews for exams, and helping with homework
-Lead Pharmacy Technician at my job. I assist in training, especially.
-Section Leader at the non-profit. I lead groups of 10-25 volunteers at various stations within the organization

Tiny amount of hypothesis-based research - one semester, maybe 40 hours - project on plant growth/development

My School List:
Penn State
Drexel
Temple
TCMC
Penn
Jefferson
Quinnipaic

Ideally, I'd like to cut one school off the list (not Penn).
How does this list look? I also have a few others in consideration: Albany, Cornell, and Eastern Virginia.
