That focus on medical mission trips probably helps your case a ton dispelling the initial bias of you possibly using them as a backup. When schools ask for why us, they are usually asking for specifics that they think distinguish them from other schools. Superficial answers like teaching style and facility quality can be applied to other schools. Then, they want you to back it up with personal experience. Yes, they were right when they want to you to be yourself.
I only said I was interested in the medical mission trips. When you go on an interview, you always need to find something specific this school offers so they like you. This is no different than a job interview.
Others who were interviewed took a different approach and got accepted too. They probably said the same things others who were rejected here said. All the guys in my group were accepted and they were all OOS with no ties to NC.
I believe that's how I got an II at CCOM because I did a ton of research what the school offered that was specific only to that school. I wrote about it in my secondaries.
