Hey All,
I'm almost finished with my AMCAS, but I was unsure of how or if I should include certain activities. I have spent a significant portion of my time as an undergraduate caring for a parent who is suffering from Alzheimer's. This is addressed in detail in my personal statement. My question regarding this is whether I should also include this under the activities portion of the AMCAS. It took up a large portion of my time and as such my other extracurriculars are not quite where I would like them to be.
My other question relates to my summer job. I'm working for a local charity selling pulltabs to people in a bar (if you're not familiar with this, it is a form of gambling). The charitable aspect of it is obviously appealing, but I don't know that I want to associate myself with gambling on my AMCAS. Would you include this or just leave it out just to be safe?
Thanks for any advice!
