Hello All

I was wonderng when do we have to show the supporting document for our volunteer work and EC activites?

Do we have to have them during the Interview or will school try contacting each of these places on their own.

My school is starting and I like to get ahead on some of these stuff.

Thank you

I like to know that too.

I don't think so.

There was a few interview threads and people just went empty-handed.

Why not just request a recommendation letter to be included in your committee letter? (It's been a few years... but if I remember correctly, don't certain schools like ASDOH allow one to list phone #'s of a person to contact at your volunteer site ? I don't recall other schools doing this, but it may have changed.)

In general, I didn't list a volunteer activity unless I had a strong arsed letter written on my behalf. That way, there would be no speculation as to why or what I did when I was there.

I'm pretty sure that they are not going to check into you too deeply unless your stuff looks fishy. Only one out of my 16 schools required a proof of shadowing form so I wouldn't be too worried.
