Hey everyone! I was wondering what you guys think of my service hours/experiences for the coming AMCAS cycle, and if I should try to get some more experiences/other this coming summer to update schools with. I'm a re-applicant so I really want to get things right this time.
Total: Roughly 450 hours. I know it isn't much (since many of you seem to have upwards of about a thousand hours or more), but it also isn't a little either, is it? Below is a short description of each.
