How many work/activities did you list on AMCAS when you applied? (traditional applicants)

Including hobbies and awards, I only have 9 slots filled up. I fear this is too little in comparison to the large pool of applicants who will be applying MD

I have this time and time again by those on the forums here--quality over quantity.

9-10 is the average listed. No worries.

It's very difficult (I would argue impossible) to be a traditional applicant and have 9-10 activities that were meaningful. Keep in mind that, although "meaningful" doesn't mean you have to do it for several years, it would be difficult to convince someone, in my opinion, that you did something meaningful if it was for less than 6 months

I have 10 activities right now, but that includes one shadowing entry and one hobbies entry; is this fine?
