Need Some Advice on Experience

Hello all,

I need some advice on experience since it is summer and I want to make use out of my time! For experience I am currently doing shadowing, and going to start volunteering at a hospital in a week or two! I also have my eyes set on some non-health related volunteering and research opportunities. I have two main questions. One is that in general, would it be better for me to have few of these experiences (from each category) and stay in them for a longer time span, or have multiple ones but not necessarily have a lot of hours in them. I guess the former choice would show more commitment, but the latter choice would stack my application more and give me a taste of more activities. My second questions is that what activities have you guys completed personally for each category, and what advice do you have on any activities that I can do for any of the categories I mentioned. Thanks in advance!

ADCOMS can tell if you are stacking your application. So, it is better to do a few activities you really enjoy for the long term, than a bunch of stuff just to fill your application.

I agree with sylvanthus. If you need ideas, you can click on the MDapps-link that some members have below their avatar. Or go to WAMC (What are my Chances) and read through some of the posts there.
