RE: the bolded: As I pointed out, beggars can't be choosy.Thank you for helping! Also unsure if this is bad on my part but I still want to strictly apply to MD schools. I know with the CARS score, things could be tricky. Worst comes to worst I reapply next cycle and retake MCAT.
Stretch beyond your comfort zone. If you have a sibling who is autistic, you likely are familiar with some of the things you are doing in that clinic, so many can argue it's not a stretch activity (e.g., how about people with different chronic disabilities that are not related to the spectrum or neurodiversity? Say multiple sclerosis or lupus?).What do you mean by stretch activities?
The interpretation will depend on the faculty on each admissions committee, but the issue is whether you have your motivation to become a physician/health care provider grounded in the right place. Many people decide to go into healthcare because of something medical that happened to the applicant, the applicant's family, or a close beloved friend. This can bring a very narrow perspective of medical training and the whole complexity of healthcare needs. You are not going to be trained just in neurodiversity throughout your whole 4 years of medical school. Can you handle the other stuff you have to learn that you may have no other vested interest in? You can say you are ready, but we need to be shown you are ready through your activities and reflections upon them.Well other than the autism place for kids, I haven’t done any other non clinical volunteering. This is the only type of thing that can I do outside work and school. So if this isn’t a stretch activity, would this activity be deemed of less value or not as impactful?
I think being an ER aide helps your CLINICAL experience diversity, but does not address community service/service to others competency.Thank you for the explanation. Obviously the non clinical volunteering has been a sort of weakness in the app that needs to be a addressed. But I was wondering if me working as an aide in the ER potentially cover the issue of me interacting with people who aren’t just neuro divergent. Not that I’ve had to treat the people but to have encountered an helped those suffering addiction to people who’ve had a miscarriage.
Not sure if this is appropriate to ask but do you think I have a weak application?
