Hi everyone, first post here!

I just had a question about volunteer hours for dental school. I volunteered for most of my high school years (mostly during sophomore and junior year) at a local animal shelter, have accumulated more than 360~ hours as it was one of my genuine passions outside of school/dental related activities. I know most likely, since it was during high school, I probably won't be able to count it on my application for dental school but I thought I would ask anyways since I couldn't find a clear answer from any other discussion. I really appreciate any feedback and thanks!

I’d think you can but just make sure you have more recent experiences as well.. might be best to reach out to the schools. I’d say forget it if it was like 10 Hrs but yours sound more involved.

Do you have more recent volunteering hours?
I have some very recent ones, and I am planning to continue volunteering throughout undergrad. I just wanted to see if my volunteer hours from high school could be counted since they made up a huge part of my life in high school!
