How important is shadowing a physician before I apply?

Shadowing is an extremely important portion of your application to medical school. It not only helps your application, but the experience will also help you writing your personal statement.

It's also a good idea to pick a physician and shadow them for a good amount of time, so that they can get to know you better and write a better letter of recommendation (if you ask them for one). Shadowing multiple people for short periods of time is probably not as ideal.
