if you are worried, then apply to more schools...

 

[Mr.Smile12]

If you are worried, don't apply. What did you do for ten hours?

 

[jackieliang5516]

I know someone who got into NYU with 0 volunteer but that's up to you if you want 650k after 4 years

 

[PerioDont]

I don't think you are screwed because of volunteering.

Have you spoken to anyone at OSU Dental or done any networking there? that's your best bet
