If you're a person who grew up in the suburbs and never has set foot in a rural location, then you'll be seen as disingenuous or naïve. If you have experiences in both, then you'll be fine. Walk the walk, don't merely talk the talk.In my applications to highly-ranked, research-heavy schools, I made clear my interest in both research and rural medicine. Was this a mistake? In hindsight, I feel like I should have kept the latter part under wraps, because it sorta implies that I don’t have an interest in academia (which I don’t, but I’d still like to contribute to clinical research).
