I'm 31, I'm working a full-time job, and I'll be going to school full time this fall. Hopefully, next fall, I'll be able to apply and interview for med school at Texas Tech.
How important is it that I get some shadowing experience between now and the time I apply? It's not that I don't WANT that experience, I just have a really busy schedule, and I don't know how I can work it in. Don't get me wrong, I WILL work it in if needed, but I'm just trying to figure out (1) just how much of a difference it will make and (2) if it IS crucial, then how many hours of shadowing experience should I shoot for?
Thanks for your time!
