I have a huge passion for teaching, if I wasn't gonna be a doctor I'd be a teacher

Thousands of premeds agree with this sentiment. This is why tutoring is overrepresented and doesn't add value to the application.

Where do you do HELP (feed and walk with geriatric patients)? If in a clinical setting, can you do this in assisted living or possibly hospice?

You have a good app and should have lots of interviews

Currently in it's in a hospital setting with patients who are hospitalized for 1-3 weeks. I don't know if it would be valuable to also do it in a hospice setting due to the fact I'll be applying in a month and a half.
