Ladling soup for hobos and pushing patients around in a wheelchair for 2 hours a week. Or that's what admissions committees think, with their flawed idea of forced altruism that totally isn't required but will get you unanimously rejected from all medical schools if you lack it.

I think it's more the idea that as a pre-med you can't do much more than the type of stuff you appear to so vehemently oppose. The point is that we are doing what we can to help those in need... which is basically the idea behind being a physician.
