Medical Can I use high school experience for medical school applications?

[Question]

The volunteer position went from the spring before I graduated from HS through the summer after I graduated (the summer before my freshmen year in college). I will be mentioning the job in my personal statement as it was part of what confirmed my interest in med school. Can I still include the hours? Although it isn't my only clinical hours - my hours have definitely been lower due to lack of volunteering during COVID. TIA

I concur with my wise colleague.

Nope. College only.

High school experiences should usually be excluded from the extracurricular activities list. You can mention your activity in your personal statement though.
