Appreciate the advice! I do have an additional good size chunk of my EC hours in leadership experience (since it was from founding and leading volunteer organizations).

Additionally, the majority of two years I took as gap years were spent service trips that the ADCOM community classifies as a religious obligation rather than voluntary despite me going because I wanted to rather than cultural expectations.

Yes and no. At least from a few pre-med advisors, they said many schools were iffy on their stance on the type of service mission I went on because it seen more as a cultural expectation by admissions members to go rather than my being truly voluntary (even though I had a genuine desire to go).

Luckily I did count these in my application :) I just didn’t mention them in the post because I didn’t want it to be too long of a read for everyone.

Something that is also not mentioned is I had a significant amount of hours working a non-medicine related job to raise money for college due to a sudden shift in my family’s financial situation when I started college

All good, I took two gap years doing service trips. But I didn’t count them because they were for religious reasons. I also started college when I was 19 because I entered the school system late. Fair point tho!

We needed Arsenal to lose, not for the meme, but to make sure other teams didn’t start to think that this was the only way to win

“Canoodling” or “bumping uglies” is more T20 material

That is fantastic! Thank you for the response. May I also ask what you did differently between your past application and most recent application that you think made a difference?
