Presuming all 80 hours was working in "geriatrics," your activities in this category need to be closer to 150 to avoid getting screened out at most schools. What did you do with your sorority re: community service?

Teaching and tutoring fall into a different category. What is your purpose as a physician?

Hi, thank you for this information! Most of this volunteer work involved working with elementary students in the local community.

My interests to research, and practice chronic disease management in elderly patients.

Can you elaborate on what you did with elementary students, and if they came from underserved backgrounds?

You mention an interest in research. Any thoughts about MD/PhD?
