Where in California did you grow up?

You have 100 hours of food bank to demonstrate service orientation directly to those in need (sorry, dog rescue doesn't have the same weight; text line does not give person-to-person contact). You should have 150 hours to avoid getting screened out at most schools. Is there a reason why veterinary medicine does not interest you? (You would need a ton of other hours if you did.)

What was your "campus activity"?

Thank you for your feedback! I definitely wish I had more community service involvement. I grew up in San Mateo county (suburban). My campus activity was putting on events for the student body such as concerts, speakers, campus traditions, etc.

As for vet, I did enjoy it; however, I felt like medicine with people as the patients was where I felt more suited for.

Thank you so much!!!!
