<p>I have been volunteering at the humans society in my city and the only level one trauma hospital in the region. I enjoy both so much so I'm wondering if it is okay to not have a variety of volunteer activities as long as you are committed to a few.</p>
<p>Humans Society?</p>
<p>For lost and abandoned Humans?</p>
<p>^Humane, I suppose. 
Give OP a break, will you? :)</p>
<p>I can never understand why medical schools make non-medical volunteering as a requirement for admission. Many medical colleges seem to insist on that. Do they expect this from high stats ( GPA/MCAT ) students also or only from students who are somewhat deficient in their stats? In my opinion volunteering in a hospital setting seems more meaningful and more related to what a medical school does.</p>
<p>@QT–Med schools expect non-medical volunteering from everyone regardless of stats.</p>
<p>The purpose of non-medical volunteering is to demonstrate a dedication to service to your fellow man. Medicine is all about serving your fellow man.</p>
<p>Hospital volunteering is to gain clinical experience.</p>
<p>it is not a strict requirement. You can always choose not to do it if you really don’t want to. There are plenty of people though who genuinely enjoy volunteer work even if not in a clinical setting.</p>
<p>ok well i guess its ok to just have one clinical and nonclinical volunteer work</p>
<p>Is it better to skip out on nonclinical volunteerig and be on the college debate team? or skip out on debate and do the volunteering?</p>
<p>Two things: which would you rather do and what is your overall image? Your application is a story, not a list. Are you branding yourself as a future policy maker? Then debate makes a lot of sense.</p>
