That’s very reassuring (I’m middle Eastern btw). So next semester I plan to get another one hundred more hours of underserved volunteering, but it is a different type of underserved (prisoners-still AA majority). Do the adcoms consider serving multiple races for 100 hours or so each a bad thing (not entrirely committeed to a race)? I plan to spend 100+ hrs with as many diverse underserved communities as I can for the experience and knowledge, so I won’t be able to align myself completely with one. However, I will be able to better understand various cultures and backgrounds. Thoughts?
Side-note: I wasn’t really laughing, but I wasn’t sure that underserved work would be taken as seriously as you guys make it out to be, as many do it solely as a box checker (which bothers me). Ex: “100 hours at a food bank? That was was exhausting and boring. Onto clinical volunteering!”
