<p>hello,</p>
<p>i volunteer at the local animal shelter and had just started some time ago since im really bored right now. it's basically just for fun and i can hang out with my friends too. however i don't want colleges to think this is all application filler. since my ECs are stuff are very science-oriented (especially bio/med) do you think this fits in well? thnx</p>

<p>If you are thinking that you might eventually be interested in studying veterinary medicine, it fits in very well. If not, I still think it's helpful because it demonstrates a commitment to service on your part.</p>
<p>ehhh you should try volunteering in a regular hospital instead of an animal shelter to show that you are interested in science.</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry about and doubt it will have any negative effect on your application. </p>
<p>DO NOT get a volunteer position at a hospital if you would prefer the Animal Shelter.</p>
<p>well yes because animals are fuzzy and adorable <3</p>
<p>and it's not like it's a bad thing. if you're that worried, just don't write it on your application.</p>
<p>If you enjoy it, continue and write about it on your application. They don't want to see a million extracurriculars in different areas but it is possible that you are passionate about science and about animals...</p>
<p>well, im doing it for fun, and animals sounds much more fun than hospital!!!!</p>
<p>yeahhhhhh i agreee.</p>
