It's fine to change one or more out. It won't seem strange.
Are you using the Print command from the Main Menu page, and then selecting PDF view? It should look the way you intend, unless maybe you are using a copied and pasted "bullet", in which case try typing another symbol directly into the narrative box instead, like a dash or star maybe.
No, so long as you revealed different aspects of the activities in each location to a great extent and used different vocabulary where overlap was necessary.
I can't say what is ideal with so little information. Hopefully your Activities narrative also covered description, and role, if they weren't obvious. Anecdotes can be worked in at either location, if desirable.
I agree with not repeating the Organization name (or, optimally, the space designation, either), but trying to add more information that might pique interest. Maybe you could put more about your actual role in the each title, or the type of conference.
Treasurer and event organizer would be Leadership. Teacher would go under Teaching.
You might consider tagging the church-related activities as Other. Then name the activity Church Leadership Team Roles and Sunday School Teacher, or some such.
That would be fine, but you might look into some form of a tiny URL link to decrease the number of characters used.
1) Does this activity fill a big hole in your application, ie are you missing this category?
1) Using the latest date works fine. Here is an example of a super-condensed Publication entry using PMID# (instead of DOI), thanks to tmax, which you could adapt for your own purposes. (Though I generally disagree with including submitted manuscripts, there might be a place for it when one can demonstrate super-productive involvement and has a proven pattern of acceptance):
1) Since the experience yet to come is not an element critical to the success of your application, I suggest you save it for Secondary prompts (where appropriate) and update letters (where allowed), so as to have something fresh to relate.
You could do so, but your shadowing hours are already stronger than average. If you don't yet have any primary care shadowing, and this would be part of the internship, that might be worth bringing up.
May I ask what the total was for each of the years, and in what category is the activity?
It was about 100 hours for sophomore, 50 hours for junior and about 25 for senior. It's non-clinical volunteering, academic years yes. I will also be continuing to do the activity over the summer and possibly into the next year.
You could enter the Total Hours as 175 over three academic years. Or you could use the Repeated button and break it down into totals for each of the three years, by datespan. I recommend the latter approach.
Also, I'm a little worried because I asked the president of the club and he said they don't keep track of hours. What is going to happen if med schools call? He's also a new president and he's only known me for a short while. He said he could vouch for my involvement but wasn't sure of my exact hours...
You might consider using a past officer/event organizer/team leader of the club.
1) "Leadership" isn't always the best choice. One may prefer to highlight one's Teaching, Artistic Endeavor, Research, Volunteerism, Employment, etc, so as to have a balanced application, and would thus pick one of those tags instead. If the choice were between Leadership and Extracurricular, I'd tend to lean in the direction of picking Leadership, but that choice might force one to minimize one's earlier involvement and that isn't always the best choice, as demonstrating one's growth is good, too.
1) Yes, as the number of hours is adequate for each.
Adcomms won't be as interested pre-college involvement anyway, so there is no need to list those hours, especially when involvement wasn't continuous. I think a brief narrative summary of the earlier years, as you've described, will cover the territory nicely.
1) Any club officer will do.
If you are sure you'll stay involved, you can enter planned hours, but I suggest you make clear which hours are completed and which are future projections. If you don't engage in club activities during the summer months, put future dates and hours in the narrative. Or, if you have year-round involvement, you separate them with the Repeated button. Details for including future plans are on page 3, post #137. Feel free to ask more questions, depending on your circumstances.
I like it.
It's best to keep the completed vs future hours separated. See options for including future hours on page 3, post #137.
The Repeated button allows you to enter more than one date range and the Total Hours for each date range appears at the top of the same entry, in sequence.
Yes.
