Clinical Experience:
- ~20 hours hospice volunteering. Projecting ~200 hours. Based on what I've done so far, expecting this to be a most meaningful
- Applying to full time MA jobs next summer - projecting ~500 hours.
- I know this is where I'm lacking, but I'm hoping this plan will work.
- ~100 hrs in 1 lab - Doing a mix of computational biology and bench research studying AML. Projecting 500-600 hours + 1-2 posters.
- 250 hrs in an Exercise Science Lab from high school; I know HS extracurriculars aren't great but I was first author for 2 posters presented at conferences so I thought it would be notable.

- IM Hospitalist (30 hrs)

- Dorm House Council President (100 hrs)
- Member of acapella group (projected ~300 hrs)
- Resident Assistant (projected ~1000 hrs). most meaningful. I know this sounds like a lot of hours, but most of it will come from time spent on-call at nights just sleeping haha.
- Orientation Leader (94 hrs)
- Peer Facilitator (tutoring through Work Study) (projected ~100 hrs)
- Science Olympiad Anatomy and Physiology Head Test Writer (~75 hrs)
