^Also, you better apply to at least 37 schools (including ~10 DO and 3-4 Caribbean) regardless of your stats. I mean, you just never know man. And obviously the best people to analyze what astonishingly vague aspects of your app you choose to broadcast over the internet are other undergrads themselves–didn’t you know that if you join SDN, you’re automatically as knowledgeable as a seasoned admissions committee member, and thus qualified to crush dreams of premeds everywhere?

But seriously, WOWMom, you think 200 shadowing hours is enough? Any person with a pulse could get that many. You probably need close to twice that if you’re even going to have a shot at your state school, let alone the lower-tier privates (might as well not even bother with elite schools). And what about leadership and volunteer experience? I sure hope you forgot to mention that you are the student body president and started an after school program for underprivileged youth or something…if not, you might consider a gap year (don’t kill me for suggesting it! Who knows, it might be really eye-opening; you could spend another year volunteering in an ER or getting your EMT certification–sure ways to prove that you’re in it for the long haul).

(for the record, my SDN tag is different than my CC tag…and my post count there is 3)
