Volunteer for what purpose?
Don't waste your time. Finish your premed classes THEN volunteer or work as a CNA/tech in the hospital. And figure out if that's the field you want to go into. These uneducated foreigners that come from Africa with these fake degrees get jobs and schooling and they can't even speak the language and they don't volunteer for jack crap. The medical field is not all that glamorous as you might think young lad.

Ask if the hospital has a required minimum of hours for volunteering then go from there. Good luck!

It's kind of transparent to a college admissions director when senior year, just in time for college applications, you start volunteering. If you have a legitimate reason other than resume packing, I'd say make sure you explain somewhere in your applications why you started so late. If you're just being fake then I'd say I'm sick of people like you. Hopefully you are just getting a late start!

Oh my gawd. That is a TERRIFFIC idea. Yeah about 20-40 hours sounds good to me. I mean you still need to do the same old teenager stuff. GOOD LUCK!
