This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Come back when you receive your score since that can cause things to greatly vary.

Volunteer Peer Mentor sounds more like non-clinical volunteering if you were not seeing them in a healthcare-based setting. Contributing 200+ hours at the homeless shelter would help you in light of the DUI. If there is a professor you are close with who is aware of it, it could help for them to speak a bit on your behalf regarding it as part of their LOR. Your grades are fine, so I do not think it would make sense to bring them up.

If you find out that you can expunge your record ahead of time, do that and verify with legal experts + background checks that it will truly be off. Do note that some schools will still ask and want to dig deeper in their secondaries compared to the AMCAS process.

Will do, thank you.

I’m not sure if the Peer Mentor position counts as clinical or not—I did receive HIPAA training for the position.
