What is a competitive amount of hours (working with patients) to apply to med schools?

[Lita0632]

And do ivy league medical schools require more hours? How much?

And can these hours be completed in 1 or 2 years or do they want to see the hours completed throughout the whole 4 years of undergrad?

You've asked this question before, and previously given much more useful context so I'm going to lock this thread and suggest bumping your old thread if you have additional questions that were not fully answered previously: How many hours of direct patient care experience is competitive for a top medical school (I've seen different answers depending on circumstances)?
