Wo man back offf…

I never said I had that many, I’ve seen kids with like 2000+. so 150 is really nothing at all. I was just responding to the person who said I didnt have any clinical experience.

Quality not quanitiy is what matters though. You can easily write down that you had 3000 hours of volunteering at a hospital, no one will ever check or know. Or you can write down the experiences you had at 50 to 150 hours (which is the truth) and how those experience changed you.

Bottom line is that applications to med programs went WAY UP. I wasnt what the medical schools wanted, or maybe I was lacking in test scores or some other factor, so they rejected me which is okay, Ill just pursue the normal track and try 2 get in that way. Im no where near a top applicant for most medical programs, and after talking too many many kids who applied I know realize that. If anything this experience has made me much more aware of the intense competition for medical admissions.
So if you are a junior I advise that your drop the arrogant attitude and stop shooting of ignorant comments at people about “lacking” something, cause in reality none of us on CC truly know what an applicant is lacking.

Yes, I got the final round of interviews for Wayne State MedStart.

Anyways good luck to you in college admissions.
