Did I apply with too little clinical experience?

I’m probably acting neurotic but I’m just curious on what others think about my clinical hours? I’ve already submitted all my secondaries so this is just me worrying. Take into consideration that I’m a traditional student and trying to go into medical school right after college

Clinical Experience
Hospital Volunteering 180 hours
Free Clinic Volunteering 50 (I’m currently volunteering here again right now but not sure if those hours will help me much)

~110 hours shadowing

I also have 700 non clinical volunteer hours. Any advice would be appreciated!

Edit: I noticed I accidentally put this in the wrong forum. Could a mod move it?Sorry

Lol thank you I needed that. I’m just seeing lots of people with 1,000 hours

I guess I’m worried because I noticed Georgetown doesn’t consider my hospital volunteering as clinical experience. Are there any other medical schools like that?

yes, georgetown is weird like that. I applied there as well, and they have different "unofficial" requirements. But it is just one school. My school, for example, is very holistic. I talked to a lot of classmates, and all of us have a very different set of skills and experiences, so i wouldnt worry about it. Now, if this cycle doesnt work out (which you have NO REASON to think at this point that it wont), you know what you could potentially improve. But for now, - dont worry about it.

As all the above posters said, you are fine.

Since you’ve already applied, it’s too late now anyway. The toothpaste is already out of the tube, the horse is already out of the barn, and all the other sayings.
