Trying to maintain a steady balance of experiences these days seems impossible. I am currently living with an immunocompromised family member and I have not at all touched an extracurricular activity since prior to 2020. I am a senior as of right now and am close to taking my MCAT. But I only have 20+ hours of shadowing and about 20+ hours in clinical volunteering. With all these new variants coming out, and even with the booster shots that are supposed to help. I don't feel comfortable exposing my family to these new variants that keep coming out. So what do you guys think I should so? Try and take most of my experiences online, or try something else? Online activities often worry me in that med school will not view them as being legit as in person. Such as shadowing a physician for example. Honestly though this whole pandemic has really thrown a wrench into my plans for applying.
