9. Non-clinical volunteering Tutoring and Assisting with a Food Bank (Nothing extraordinary here)

Do you have any physician shadowing hours ? What is the nature of your clinical and non clinical volunteering hours ?

 

[Mr.Smile12]

It would help if you followed the WAMC template.

Thanks Faha! I'm switching around a few schools and hoping for the best! Hopefully my personal statement and letters of rec can help prove my desire to be a physician even if I don't have a lot of hours.

The community service seems to be very vague regarding involvement. Food bank and maybe back-office at free clinic hours = ???

I think Oakland is an acceptable choice for you. I'd drop Case (MCAT requirement is too high). I'd also drop Virginia Tech as they expect very heavy / in-depth research background.
