Is there such a thing as TOO much volunteering?

So I have a friend of mine that is applying to medical school next cycle. She recently changed career paths from business to medicine. I'm helping her with the process and getting her familiar with the "pre-med" world - at least to the extent that I know it.

Anyway, she told me this is her volunteer schedule:

Monday/Wednesday: Nursing home
Tuesday/Thursday: tutoring/mentoring
Friday/Saturday: World Relief + soccer
Sunday : Berkeley Literature Project

She has had this schedule for about a year. She is also taking her prerequisite courses so she is VERY busy. In my opinion, she is doing too much volunteer work. I think it gives the impression that she is just doing it to beef up her application for when she applies. This is my interpretation of it though. What to do you guys think?!?
