Are these amount of hours average for getting into med school (other than the obviously high leadership hours)?

Title.

this is the 2nd post on r/premed about the same sdn post in the last few days lol. context, the person in question is a soph, not an applicant.

[u/moe_34567 → u/Still-Barber-720]

I saw that other post and screen shotted it and posted this for hope that getting into med school doesn’t require that much lol

[u/Ok-Difficulty8426]

Yeah average if not below. Some of the hours from the picture are just repetitive and don’t add much value. Idk about average but everyone I know ends up applying with far more than what is in your reposted picture

[u/Subject_Plankton_328]

Seems pretty light if it's someone actively applying

Yeah doesn’t seem too crazy over a 4-5 year period imo, especially if you use your summers wisely

[u/Curiouslotbunch]

The non clinical volunteering is probably higher than usual. Everything else is relatively normal.

When you divide it out it's really not that much. But I also went to an easy UG so I worked a ton outside of school and it gave me a bunch of hours over 4 years

[u/PomeloOnly2107]

Clinical is a little low.

[u/1LNS]

Active application? If so, all are low.

Regarding leadership, that’s also fairly middle of the road, not high.

[u/OutsideAd278 → u/1LNS]

are you being fr? 580 nonclinical volunteering is low?

[u/1LNS → u/OutsideAd278]

Yeah? That averages out to 2.7h per week over a four year degree or 1-3 summers.
