5 years of tutoring, self-employed and with two agencies
8 month internship at the Canadian Embassy in Washington DC
Helped set up the Embassy military clinic
Attended several medical conferences

Other ECs:
A month of shadowing an internist in private practice

References:
Two great reference from supervisor and non-science professor

Can use a mediocre reference from a volunteer coordinator
Can use a great reference from a former student of mine (from tutoring)

Thanks in advance. I'm only applying to Stanford and Dartmouth since it looks like theyre the only ones who don't need science professors as a reference

First of all that's not true. Second of all that's a very bad idea. And third of all you should either try to get science LORs or contact schools to see if they can make an exception for your situation (I'm assuming you're in some sort of situation if you're so adamant about not having science LORs).
