how do adcoms view a list of so many ECs? GPA and MCAT scores don't matter, right? 😛
as a freshman, i'm looking at ECs such as 1 year of hospital volunteering senior year in high school, volunteering this summer, volunteering next year, volunteering the year after that.

I finally got around to finishing Metroid Prime for game cube. Adcoms like that in an applicant... shows commitment.
Now if I could only win that Coney Island hot dog eating contest... (that Japanese guy always wins it; he eats like a machine!)

Yeah, I agree. Especially the premed/med students that are still pulling the "I don't try" routine and are MD/PhD M1's.....
Kobayashi owns you.
Be calm, my son. I never said it was a cakewalk for me. What I find silly is not that people are freaking out; it's the whole obsession with detailing your resume to impress a bunch of strangers online. I've always been willing to sell myself to adcoms and potential employers; but I couldn't give a rat's patootie what people on SDN think of my app.
When somebody asks for information, like they want to know if their app is competitive, that's fine. But when some huckster gives a two word request, nay, demand... well, all that deserves is a flippant response.

People just want to gauge themselves. I don't think there's an obsession with detailing your resume to impress strangers. I don't feel that's the case; people post threads like this all the time because they want to gauge their ECs. Replying is just helping out the OP who had cause to ask the question.

someone in here (too lazy to check) wrote that they volunteered in high school during their senior year. I'm a 2nd year and I've done a year and a half of volunteering at a hospital but it hasn't meant half us much to me as volunteering at the Lupus Foundation during my senior year. WOuld it be appropriate to even mention something I did in high school? Also when people talk about volunteering in a clinic what exactly do they mean? Are we talking like red cross type stuff or something else?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think it's appropriate to put things you did in high school on your amcas application; it says post secondary experiences for a reason, right?
The free clinic I volunteered at was run out of a health department on Monday nights. Doctors volunteered their time there. There were always primary care docs and each week different specialists would come in; ob-gyns for instance. The public knew which doctors would be there when; so the nights when an ob-gyn was there you'd get a lot of women with those types of issues. It ran from around 6pm till whenever everyone had been served. There were always huge lines and the docs were always swamped.
