Hello all,
I’ve been accepted to a few MD schools now and I’m wondering about the consequences of not meeting my projected hours for one activity. I started volunteering for a second crisis hotline sometime last summer and projected 200 hours on my AMCAS application. Currently I’m sitting at a little over 50 hours of volunteering with them. When I started the activity, I had every intention of finishing all of those hours, but other things have come up since then. I currently work a very exhausting EMS type job where I am gone for about 60 hours a week. Truthfully, I am very burned out from this job, and the last thing I want to do on my weekends is crisis counseling. While it can be very fulfilling, it’s also pretty exhausting. I’m wondering if not meeting these projected hours could have an acceptance rescinded? If I need to finish the 200 hours I can, but at this point I would prefer not to. I start school relatively soon and I want to be as fresh as possible. Right now, I am crispy.
