I'm just curious what might be the repercussions of my lack of a strong volunteer experience. After graduating high school I volunteered about 60 hours in an ER, and since then nothing real committed. I've tutored (maybe 1hr/week for the last 2 years) and one summer I was a mentor. But thats about it, pretty darn sparse in that field of the application
This summer I am planning on volunteering for the homeless. But that won't be too extensive either, and obviously I am just starting it.
So is this a deal breaker? Clearly I have volunteered (just not a lot), but do other factors make up for this? I have a + 3.5 GPA and a mid 30's MCAT score, and have extensive experience in the healthcare technology/regulatory world. I'm hoping my work experience might make up for this...
