There needs to be a category for accidental animal experience. I've had a lot of it this diving season. The best was coming to the end of a dive and having a pod of dolphins show up. Had 3 of them swim by me at a distance of about 8 feet. Heard a whistle and turned to watch a grey torpedo come speeding by - increased air consumption for a minute. Ended up watching a few of them "having a good time" up near the surface - exhibitionists I tell you. Mating positions of Atlantic dolphins has to count for points somewhere.
 
Haha, so funny. I worked at an aquarium for ~a year and a half, and our penguins would do it right in front of the glass! Try explaining that to a five year old (oh, they're playing leapfrog!)!!!!

Dude, I totally think "dolphin sex" should be in the opening sentence of your PS.
They'd remember you!

"On the day of my 35th birthday, one event brought me to the realization that I wanted to be a veterinarian: dolphin sex. I was at the end of a 30 minute dive to 110 feet, visiting the wreck of a ship that went down in a storm in 1924. Almost at the no-decompression limit, and low on air, I was in the middle of my ascent when my wife smacked me on the head. I turned around to see 3 dolphins speeding past me. As I looked around, I counted no less than 10 of the creatures swimming around us. I looked up the anchor line to see the boat 30 feet above me and dolphins all around swimming two-by-two, doing the horizontal mambo..."
 
Opening sentence should be something like:

'Bow chicka wow wow'. That was the music going through my head as I watched a svelte, young female and male proving their fitness to the biological forces at hand.

Adcoms wouldn't forget your PS that's for sure
:laugh:
 
How great would it be if someone wrote all of that, but about dog sex? It would be taken in a totally different way.
 
I think I would have peed myself if I would have seen something like that 😀 Hilarious. It would spice up a PS that's for sure!!
 
Dolphin sex should not only count as an experience, but should also receive extra points during the admissions process. It will probably be one of the, if not the, most unique animal encounter/experience of any applicant!
 
If that counts as experience - I think I'm a shoe-in for Med. School.
