Hello all!
I have a question that I would like some feedback on.. I know, generally speaking, that using high school experiences on medical school admission is not encouraged. Currently, I have close to 200 hours of clinical experience (you can check Mdapps if you want specifics), but only about 20 of those have come since I've been in college.
The other 180 or so came during my senior year in high school when I was enrolled in a class that did rotations throughout the hospital. This is the experience that solidified my desire to pursue an MD. However, since it was an experience I had in high school do you think this will hinder my application? I really don't feel the need to shadow any doctors further, and the only other thing I had considered was maybe doing hospice work for a bit.
Thoughts/ comments? Thanks guys!
