So Admit specifies that non-clinical volunteering hours should only include community service. I know that a lot of schools specifically look for service orientation via working with underserved groups in traditional 'community service' activities - food pantries, shelters, etc. I thought, however, that other types of non-clinical volunteering were still viewed positively, even if schools specifically want to see community service on top of that.

Although now that I'm writing this, I realize that a lot of other activities are excluded from the score -- it's obviously not a perfect metric to judge an application by. And only the most important distinctions within activity categories are weighted (ie research pubs but not presentations), plus leadership and teaching aren't accounted for. So I suppose this makes sense. Still, curious what people think.

Do you have any substantial non-clinical but non-community service volunteering that's important to your application?
