General How do projected hours work?

[Goro]

Are projected hours taken seriously? And what would be the general guidelines to listing EC's with projected hours?

They're not taken seriously; we just want to have an idea of what you're going to do with your time.

 

[GoSpursGo]

Not taken seriously. They'll probably ask you about them once you're at the interview stage, but won't help you get the interview.

 

[TheBoneDoctah]

Not gonna help since you haven't actually done them. I would guess MOST people don't actually fulfill their projected hours as they state on their application.

They are looked upon with as much seriousness as your practice MCAT scores.
