Lately I have been concerned about my extracurriculars. I was planning on becoming a hospice volunteer for clinical hours while working as a part time barista and count that as employment. I chose to work part time as a barista rather than becoming a scribe solely because I enjoy the job. However I was wondering if it mattered to the admissions if I had more hours accumulated working as a barista than the hours accumulated volunteering at a hospice? Should I just play it safe and switch to scribing?

— Experts please respond to this post —
 
If you like doing the barista thing, and you're getting sufficient time doing the part time hospital thing, stick with that. Throw some time shadowing though too, which will give a little bit difference experience, but you won't have to give up something you like doing.
 
I don't think they will look that deeply and compare those things, so I wouldn't switch to scribing just for that.

What year are you in and how many total hours do you have in volunteering?
