I wanna put all that (deans list, scholarships, awards) under one space.. now what do I put for total hours?
amcas makes 'total hours' a required field for awards... now what the heck is amcas thinking when they did that
 
I read somewhere official (AMCAS manual or something like that) that you should put 0. I put 0.
 
I put 10 bc I thought it was asking for hours I wasted attending thank you dinners/ceremonies to be told how "unique" and "awesome" we were. Prob should've put 0 like everyone else said, haha

But AdComs are people, can read, and will know better, so it doesn't really make a difference if you put 1 or 5 or 0 o_o. Now if you put 100...that might be an issue :laugh:
