The admissions committee is interested in gaining more insight into you as a person. Please describe a significant personal challenge you have faced, one which you feel has helped to shape you as a person. Examples may include a moral or ethical dilemma, a situation of personal adversity, or a hurdle in your life that you worked hard to overcome. Please include how you got through the experience and what you may have learned about yourself as a result.

7. MD/PHD Research Essay
The CWRU MSTP/CTSTP requires answers to two essay questions that are the same as the MD/PhD questions on the AMCAS application (the Research Essay and the MD-PhD Motivation Essay).

If you are satisfied with your responses in AMCAS, type "Please see AMCAS MD/PhD essays." in the fields below questions 7 and 8. If you did not indicate MD/PhD on the AMCAS application but desire to do so now, or if you wish to provide a modified answer to one or both of these questions, please provide answers to the following questions.

In your statement, please specify your research supervisor's name and affiliation, the duration of the experience, the nature of the problem studied, and your contributions to the project.
