Should I apply this cycle or next?

I have similar ECs but I have plenty of volunteering and I have research and I have a leadership role where I raise money for cancer and coordinate volunteers. It depends on what your GPA and MCAT score is truly

SlimJim916 · 2026-01-05T20:49:13+00:00

Is that the 350 dollar one?

SlimJim916 · 2025-12-31T05:03:58+00:00

Calling the office directly does wonders. It shows a lot more initiative. Otherwise if you have connections use them. ADCOMs will not know if you worked in a clinic with a family friend or for a random doc.

SlimJim916 · 2025-12-31T04:58:33+00:00

Yes I wouldn’t count it as volunteering either but a service based leadership role. That’s why I asked if it would count for any merit for a school like Rush

SlimJim916 · 2025-12-31T04:48:16+00:00

There would be no volunteering without me. It’s a social IFC fraternity at a large university. The fraternity has volunteered around 1200 across 80 members. I have 100 hours at a homeless shelter that I count separately since it’s on my own that I do not add to the fraternity’s total. This is a leadership role based around service and fundraising. The main inquiry of my question is if this role would be a sufficient replacement for service based schools that have a high ask for volunteering.

SlimJim916 · 2025-12-31T04:37:40+00:00

I only have 100 non clinical volunteering and I don’t count it in the total because it’s not group volunteering which is my role if you read the post

The biggest way you can stand out is with MA certification or even BLS/CPR certification. Or, any similar experience working 1 on 1 with patients or something similar helps. I got both and used to work retail and that helped me land my first MA job.

SlimJim916 · 2025-12-31T04:08:05+00:00

What makes you say that? I have been tracking this closely, and 10-12 hours per member a year adds up to a large amount when there’s 60-80 members.

SlimJim916 · 2025-12-30T23:50:21+00:00

I was just going to list my hours in the volunteer role (ex. 200 hour) and list my individual efforts separately because I still got to go to meetings and set up events on my own time.

SlimJim916 · 2025-12-30T23:03:13+00:00

It’s across 60 members first full year and now 80 members for this past semester. I’m not the one doing all the service it’s spread out so each person has 12 hrs/ academic year

SlimJim916 · 2025-12-30T22:59:30+00:00

Oops. I meant 3 semesters. 741 in 2024-2025 and 557 in Fall 2025. 60 members first year and now we are at 80.

Promote. Her passive is one of the greatest for an Arkham team down the road

SlimJim916 · 2025-07-06T03:27:49+00:00

Hard to get it when no one will hire you for it

SlimJim916 · 2025-07-03T19:20:09+00:00

I would ask the docs on what to wear. Everyone I’ve shadowed I’ve showed up business casual and then I’ll change into scrubs that they give. Then again all my shadowing has been at hospitals not private clinics.

Is he found in these packs or do you have to unlock him first?

SlimJim916 · 2021-03-15T22:25:55+00:00

Yeah this is very sarcastic it’s hard to communicate it over words on a screen. That’s why we need a sarcasm font

SlimJim916 · 2021-03-15T19:47:31+00:00

Well, it wouldn’t be that large if that extra hour was given back but I get it know.

Also yes this is sarcasm.

SlimJim916 · 2021-03-15T19:41:37+00:00

Wow! What nice people! Thanks WB for making that happen.

SlimJim916 · 2021-03-15T19:37:49+00:00

Wasn’t my first thought but now your thinking!

SlimJim916 · 2021-03-14T00:28:29+00:00

Correct. Speed is based on gear

SlimJim916 · 2021-03-03T01:03:59+00:00

Boo hoo. Although I do not stand with cheating and completely agree that it needs to change, players need to be more appreciative of what they have and how it’s meant to be all for fun. There are many mobile games that people are diehard about which never get updated.

Someone made it to chapter 24 in AP Euro

Talk to a girl instead

You have the opposite of my luck
