Example: 500+ shadowing hours when ≈200 is excellent with a broad spectrum of specialties of course. Just curious.

I think it would depend on the context.
There are boundaries to shadowing/clinical observation.
Rule of thumb:
Quality > Quantity

To me, it says that one doesn't know what's important in this process.
It's lethal when people think that something like that is all that's required. For example, I've seen posts here from people who think that shadowing is volunteering, or that it qualifies as telling them what they're getting into (which it doesn't)
The most common form of "overload" is tons of research and little to no clinical and/or volunteer activity.

500 hours folding towels <<< 500 hours scribing, working directly with patients or working some management position, etc.
