I plan to apply this coming cycle, and I have yet to volunteer. Honestly, how important is this "requirement"? It's not that I don't want to volunteer, I literally have zero time for it. I am Marine veteran nontrad. Between work, school, raising 2 children (one stays at home, the other is in Kindergarten), maintaining a marriage (with wife who is also full time undergrad), there is no time left over. I have shadowed, but that was a serious struggle to fit in (shadowed physicians, originally - realized I have no desire to be one). Is there some threshold where grades and/or DAT would compensate for 0 volunteering hours?
