Update about summer volunteering

I volunteered at a shelter this summer for a few months. I am not sure if this is worthy of an update if I did not mention it on my AMCAS/secondary because it was too early. I went about once a week for a few months.

-How many hours did you accumulate?
-How many other nonmedical volunteer hours did you list on your Primary application?
-Do you have other relevant updates to include in a letter?

1) Probably ~40-45 hours
2) 0 hours on my AMCAS for non medical volunteering :/
3) Yes, I have one other thing to add (promotion in job)

Send the update.

And might I suggest that you continue to give the shelter additional hours, perhaps over Thanksgiving break, and winter & spring breaks, as well, assuming you will be nearby at those times. Always keep improving your application in case you need to reapply.
