Quick question regarding professional experience,

I did some volunteer stuff in college but its been quite some time (4 years).

Would it be a good idea to add that in my application? Follow up: what should I do about anything that is more than 4 years ago?

Currently I have:

  • Academic Enrichment Programs - 0
  • Awards, Honors, and Scholarships - 0
  • Dentistry/Shadowing Experience - 2
  • Extracurricular/Volunteer/Community Service - 1
  • Research Experience - 1
  • Work Experience (including Military Service) - 2

Looking through some other people's lists, I can only feel inadequate. I have about 500 hours shadowing dentistry, 1000 research hours, 150 volunteer hours and currently working as well.
