Question About Volunteering

I did some volunteering in a physical therapy clinic for 2 summers during high school, and I did have plenty of patient contact along with learning several basic manipulation techniques. But it did tell me that I did NOT want to be a physical therapist!! My question is... can I put this on my AMCAS app for clinical experience...even though it was during high school? Thanks for your help!

Yes.

you shouldnt put it. adcoms dont care about high school experiences. LizzyM, an adcom member that posts here, said so herself. you may come off as trying too hard as well.

That's kinda what I was thinking. I certainly DO NOT want to sound like that! thanks so much for your help!

You can only list high school experiences if they continued into college.
