I've volunteered 2.5 years worth of my time to mother my child. Can I list this as volunteer hours? I bathe the kid and I even feed him!

I don't think you know what volunteering is

edit: Just realized you're the same person who wanted to intentionally lower their GPA, assuming troll until it's proven that you just have horrible judgement

You should also list giving birth as clinical experience. 🙄

Cringy. I wish I could say I've never seen it before, though.

Or OBGYN shadowing time.

Heck, depending in how desperate the father was, she could probably also use the act leading to conception as non-clinical volunteering.

And if it were his first time, she could list it as leadership.

Sounds like a well rounded application to me!

Sleeping is another good EC that most people don't take advantage of. "Every single year, I devote nearly 3,000 unpaid hours to an important recuperative activity that is life sustaining to its beneficiary. While this involves a major time commitment, I truly cannot see myself forgoing involvement, and I plan to continue this activity through medical school and residency, though perhaps with reduced hours."

It appears everyone has agreed.
