I suggest:
U VM
Miami
St. Louis
Albany
Rochester
Rush (note: very service/experience oriented with a 150hr service requirement. Avg student has 800 hours of community service, and >1800 hours of health care exposure.)
Rosy Franklin
BU
MCW
Hofstra
NYMC
VCU
EVMS
Wake Forest
Jefferson
Temple
Drexel
Creighton
George Washington
Emory
Tulane
Dartmouth
Loyola
Oakland B
Your state school(s).
Any DO program, starting with PCOM-GA, CUSOM, and the 3 VCOMs
The diversity prompt isn't for what ethnic group you're in, but what strengths do you bring to the class? What's cool about you. And please, saying that you lived with Asians, is, well, lame. There are schools which consider LGBT as URM, so milk it. But best to pitch it with anything that's health related, like advocacy, patient education, etc. But given what my poor pal @familyaerospace is going through, approach MCG with eyes open. I'll let him explain.
Also I'm LGBT, but my family/pre college life was pretty chill and my life at undergrad is super accepting so I've never felt 'disenfranchised' or 'targeted' and I don't actually do anything in the community (pride, school clubs, organizations, etc) nor am too outspoken. But to be honest, if something's going to give me an 'edge' I'm ready to milk it for all it's worth.
My other plan for these sections was to talk about my music major and all the groups I play in at my school, since I'm assuming that would be 'unique' as well.[/QUOTE]
