<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>Just wondering what all of you think of this...</p>
<p>I've done extensive volunteering ever since H.S. and I continue to do so in college. When I make my list of E.C. and my resume, should I include my "extensive" volunteer experience from high school into the list as well?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Not on your med school app, no. If you're putting together a resume for internships or whatnot, I don't see why not.</p>
<p>If your volunteering is outstanding and medically related, you could include it in your personal statement as an experience that helped lead you or cement your desire for medicine. You can also bring it up in your interview, but otherwise BDM is right in that you will not put that on your actual AMCAS application, since it specifically asks for "Post Secondary Experiences"</p>
<p>what about an award like Eagle Scout</p>
<p>Same logic as what BRM just described. If it's really that crucial, you can put it in your personal statement. But if it didn't happen in college, it doesn't get put into the "list" of things.</p>
