Is anyone noticing how the large amount of hours looks odd?

ie: i worked in a research lab for 3 years
thats 20 hrs a week, 52 weeks a year, 3 years, 3120 hours or 3 times of 999

That looks insane! Should I be cutting down hours?

20 hours a week (as most undergrads do) sounds a lot better than 3120 hours.

and for my other activities, if i put "estimated hours" until I graduate, i'm literally putting in hundreds or thousands of hours per activity

is anyone running into similar situation
 
Check the pre-allo forum for AMCAS questions. This has been asked hundreds of times over there. What most people seem to be doing is putting 999 in the Total Hours box, and then in the description writing the actual total hours.
