Again I’m not the expert here. Others are. I’D say various. If you want to say three or five sure. Of course then you water down the hrs per.
I think that you did it and quantified hrs is what matters.
You are not going to score more points from more detail.
But again, I’m an outsider to this situation. Others may advise differently.
I think you were very lucky to have so many shadowing opportunities in 9th grade, but what do I know. And from Facebook! I don’t know of any students in our HS who accomplished this, but if you did then that’s great! My daughter did shadowing as a college sophomore and could not get many hours on campus. She came home to do it and made cold calls to teaching hospitals (they were happy to have her).
No.
some advice for your daughter if she still needs shadowing hours/wants do do shadowing:
First reach out to the doctors that you would know best - your pediatrician/dentist
Once you rack up a good 50 hours with them, start to expand the field in which you shadow. Perhaps talk to your grandma’s podiatrist and ask to shadow them or maybe even her OBGYN. These connections will rack up and each doctor you shadow will always know more doctors for you to broaden your field of interest. For me, one ophthalmologist knew a vascular surgeon, hand surgeon, and an ER doc all of which I shadowed.
She’s older and already graduated, but thank you. She shadowed at her pediatrician and at various teaching hospitals.
I find it unusual that doctors offices would respond to 9th grade students on FB and allow them to shadow, but again if it worked for you that’s great!
Our kid shadowed the same doctor in one discipline for two shifts a week for two full years (post college graduation). Depth, not variety. Kid also shadowed a couple of others, but really having that in depth shadowing experience with the one doctor was excellent…and made their LOR a lot more compelling than hit and run shadowing.
My opinion.
But back to your chances question. You have a couple of safety schools already. And a BUNCH of high reach schools. Since you seem happy with the safety schools…apply to those reaches if you want to.
Podiatrists and dentists are not medical doctors who attended medical school. Is that who you shadowed?
The obgyn would not permit my daughter to be in the room during the exam. She was permitted in the room during the before and/or after discussion, blood pressure check etc.
She got permission from parents and patients at the pediatrician and teaching hospitals.
I do agree with your technique of shadowing and being referred to others
We are getting a little off topic here regarding shadowing…but the docs my kid shadowed had to have permission from their superior and in many cases, the permission of the patient to have someone else in the room.
In addition, for the long term shadow, there was some training on ethics, confidentiality etc…which I think is important.
You shadowed 7 doctors in less a bit more than a week?
No machine can accurately make prescription. It is used as guidance and then licensed optition based on machine estimates finds out actual prescription… I wear glasses for 40 years no doctor will just hand you prescription based on machine reading.
Also in the US optometrist is not a doctor. Ophthalmologist is a doctor. Both can prescribe glasses but focus of Ophthalmologist are serious problems with eyes (way beyond just glasses…).
What you did was not writing prescription. You were writing down measurements done by machine (accurately or not). For your understanding every machine has ± accuracy interval. It also needs to be callibrated systematically. So not any sane doctor will use only machine to come up with prescription
Do you mean team captain? I wonder how your team was ranked nationally. As far as I know, FTC competition events go from region/state to world. At world there are two divisions with separate ranking.
Yeah - team captain. We are top 50 in our division.
Then change that to “team captain”
Omit the nationally ranked. And change President to captain.
nationally ranked is in my awards section… its not in my actual activities description.
Point being…it’s not accurate. Delete it.
how is it not accurate? we competed in the worlds competition and ranked decently. not every team gets a chance to do that?
From the poster above. There aren’t national ranks for this.
@somethings is that correct?
If so @shrededcheese06 no matter how high you ranked, you weren’t nationally ranked.
This is embellishing on what you have done. It’s fine enough to say you were the captain of the team.
Did your college consultant suggest you say”president” instead of “captain”? And did that consultant suggest you put “nationally ranked”…
There were 48 teams in each division.
For the 2022-2023 season, I think there’s only one world fest event. Teams from many nations were invited, although the vast majority were from the U.S.
