Hello! I have several questions about applying. I have majorit of my volunteering hours (broken down below) in clinical volunteering. Is there a preference between clinical and non clinical? Also, I will only have 1 year of research experience at about 5-7 hours per week by the time I apply. Based on my ECs and stats below, how realistic is it to apply only MD. Also, what else can i strengthen? (I’m a nurse applying to medical school for many reasons)
