For this section, are we expected to list away rotations and the ophtho rotations we did in our med school? Wasn't sure what they wanted for the electives part. Seems like these things would be in the transcript. I was going to just list ophtho activities/ community service. Any advice appreciated.

i would list your ophtho electives, especially the away ones under this section. don't count on them to fish this out of the transcript. also, include the dates of each rotation and the attending you worked with. your ophtho activities/community service are also great things to include.

good luck!

What if our ophtho electives are not yet completed by the time we submit the application? Should anticipated ophtho electives, or other possibly relevant things (i.e. head and neck anatomy elective) be listed as yet-to-be completed electives?

Fo-shizzle! I included stuff I hadn't done yet. And I agree, don't expect them to fish things out of your transcript. Just list all ophtho rotations, the date, and attending.
