This question is intended for successful applicants. On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being really important, how would your rate it? As a sophmore, I have 20 volunteer hours. And they are not consistent, e.g., not on a weekly basis. I am hearing about some premeds having 400+ hours! Our college had an admissions officer speak to us about this, and he said that MCAT and GPA are the most important components. He said both are equally important. And all that other stuff is considered only when the applicant is not strong on mcat or gpa. What do you think? How many hours are good enough?
