Do I need more clinical hours?

[Bored_Conscious]

EY 2022 applicant currently in their gap year. Got a FT job doing research and I'll have around 2,000 hours of research/leadership experience if I have to re-apply.

If I already have around 1800 hours that I got over two years working as a PCT in the ICU, do I need to do additional clinical work/volunteering in the meantime to have a successful re-application? I want to have some time to wind-down after 4-years and don't really have the desire to do additional work outside of my job and non-clinical volunteering/leadership work I'm doing already.

Thanks!

Your 1800 hours of clinical experience will place you (hours-wise) in the top 10% of applicants at my school. From my perspective, you do not need any more clinical experience, especially since you are already engaging in other non-clinical volunteering and leadership work. Just my thoughts.

I appreciate your input. That's good to know, thank you.

You're more than okay dude. There are people with a fraction of that who get in.
