I really appreciate everyone on SDN helping each other out. I've been reading many people's posts and realize I have very little EC in comparison. Ok, here's what I have:
32M (12 PS, 8 VR, 12 BS)
cGPA: 3.9 sGPA: 3.9
I'm worried about my lack of clinical volunteer hours.
I've been volunteering for a Chinese Association for ~5 years.
3 months at Red Cross.
Only just started at hospital 3 months ago!
Also just started volunteering at a high school and my university 5 months ago.
~110 hours of shadowing in different specialties.
I've also worked 18 hrs a week at a restaurant for the past 5 years. That really made it impossible to find a stable volunteer job. Would medical schools sympathize with my need to work or just see this as an excuse?
I really appreciate everyone's input and please be honest with me. Do I even have a chance with so little volunteer work?
