In alot of my applications they ask for my medical experiences. Well starting this week or next week I'm going to be volunteering in the ICU at my local hospital. Should I include that in my applications or just leave it out since I haven't actually started and I'm mailing out my applications today and tomorrow? Thanks.

Whoa, your just mailing out your applications now, wasnt the deadling for most all schools Dec 1st? I would sit this cycle out and apply next year.
 
I would leave it out since you havent actually done it yet. Plus if something happens and you dont do it, that would be weird to have to explain.

I glanced at your mdapps page, and you have quite a list of ECs and other stuff, and a great gpa and mcat. Are you applying to any DO schools, or only the MD schools that you have designated on your page? Cause this is the pre-DO forum not the pre-MD (i.e. 40 year old virgin) forum. Dont mind helping, but just making sure you know. Also, when are you graduating? It says you are 20 so are you applying for 08 or 09?
