Dental School Volunteering Hours? Eep

[Cheesecake1]

Hello everyone!

I am working on my dental school application now, and I am getting a bit worried because of my volunteer hours.

Shadowing Hours: 100+ ish (still have to count total lol)
Volunteering Hours: ~30 hours?

Volunteer more?

Will this have a big impact on my application?..

Yeah, I know my question came out a bit weird lol. Sorry. I'm bad at wording things.

What I want to know is, do volunteer hours have a big impact?

I mean, I'm sure some schools don't mind having low volunteer hours, but if schools have hard hour requirements then you'd probably be better off not applying to those schools.

Depends on the rest of your application and schools applying to.

The rest of my application is strong (I had my stats listed before, but I deleted them because I felt weird having them posted online ^^; )

I've been looking at ADA's guide, but I can't seem to find minimum hours for volunteering. Which schools require a lot of volunteer hours? - if you don't mind me asking
