Question

I've been volunteering at a hospital for quite a while since I've been in college, but I haven't been logging my hours on my transcript. I do have proof of every hour I've been at the hospital, since we have electronic log-ins, and could provide that proof easily. However, I'm worried that this will somehow hurt my application chances, as I was told a computer sorts and prioritizes students based on their application stats and transcript. Am I at a disadvantage?

Answer 1

No. Your undergraduate transcript will contain your undergraduate course grades; it will not contain a log of volunteer hours, other extra curricular activities, or anything else of that sort. When you enter you activities into the AMCAS (common application service for medical school applications), you will be asked to enter contact information for a supervisor for each activity. If the AMCAS wants to verify your participation in a particular activity, they will contact the person you listed.

Answer 2

Are you suppose have volunteer hours on transcript lol? Volunteer is not part of your school curriculum hey! So don't expect it to be there...There's a place you filled that on AAMC when applying ..Goodluck
