Question on EC's and Statute of Limitations

[runic garden]

funny joke name hahaha. Basically, im a rising junior in college, (its 2022, graduating in 2024). I plan on applying the end of my junior year to mex school.

The title is a joke but basically my issue is: I was trained to be an EMT when I was in high school (as a senior, so 2019-2020). During that training, I did alot of clinical hours, both in hospital settings (pretty much working with CNA's and Nurses, as it was a requirement of the course) as well as working in ambulances. Since that occurred during high school, can I not use that as "clinical hours" for my EC's for my application, despite that being very transformative and influential hours for my choice to go to med school? (obviously these will not be my ONLY clinical hours, I will have some for college). The statute of limitations joke comes from me wondering** how old can an experience or "hours" be**, as I believe people that are 1-2 years removed from graduating college use freshman or sophomore year college clinical or volunteer hours in their app, and do most people use ANY high school hours/achievements/experiences in their apps as supplementary to their college ones?

high school only counts if you continued into college

[rough violet]

did you sustain it at all into college tho/intend to pick it up this fall?

[runic garden]

yes i intend

[formal nimbus]

I would say anything after high school. Like when I applied to some job/scholarship it mention EC “after high school” so I’m guessing it should be the same

If you've continued with these experiences beyond high school, then you probably should list them.

There's no expiration on activities. I listed activities that spanned across 10-years. Examples included military service, clinical hours, and hobbies.

I hope this helps!

Im not a second-year Harvard Medical Student with 0 interviewer offers and 0 full ride acceptances

But I stay winning bc I'm not at HMS and on discord at the same time

Stay capping

[glacial tiger]

Do you though? Stay winning I mean? Cuz an awful lot of your time seems devoted to trolling on the exact same platform… I can’t imagine being in a position where I literally had nothing better going on in my life than deliberately annoying other people.
