Hello SDN,
I'm back with another set of questions. I always appreciate any and all help and responses!
1. For shadowing experience, is it okay if a lot of my shadowing experiences are concentrated in my freshman/early sophomore year? Or do they need to be spread out?
2. A lot of the doctors I shadowed are branches of internal medicine. I shadowed doctors. Although they do different things, they all are trained in internal medicine residencies. Do I need to find a doctor or doctors to shadow that are not under the internal medicine field, or does shadowing these different specialties count as covering a good breadth of medicine?
3. I have gained a bunch of premed activites on my CV. Problem is though, that all the other side activities I do for myself (lift, play chess online occassionally etc.), are kind of hard to express to adcoms, so all I can put on AMCAS in the future are these heavy premed activities. Is this a red flag..? Should I try and show other non-premed activites? Or does nonclinical community service kind of show that im not just into premed things..? Basically, what suggestions of what can I do to not appear like this.
Thank you again! Sorry for bombarding questions like this lol.
