how many volunteer and shadowing hours should i have before applying?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
prob answered somewhere else but is there a definitive baseline/minimum? for MD schools

Its all relative obviously but I think maybe 200 of the volunteering and at least 100 of shadowing?
 
50 of shadowing is generally considered to be sufficient. Volunteering tends to be at least a hundred hours, generally more towards a couple hundred split in some way between clinical and nonclinical.
