Did any of you guys complete the optional essays? I am struggling to come up with something for the timeline essay - I want to highlight my "advanced" training in the arts (piano, voice, dance, and theatre), but I can't figure out how to list my theatrical resume in a "narrative" format. I'm considering just leaving it blank, but it's just so hard for me to do that!
For the other supplemental essay, I'm considering writing about why I want to go to Boston University, which shouldn't be so difficult since almost every secondary asks that question anyway.
DO NOT write about why you want to go to BU!! During the interview session, one of the big things that Dr. Weinzburg talks about is the ability of the applicant to know that he really wants to go to a certain medical school until at least a month after his interview, when he/she realizes that BU is truly for him/her. So, I truly suggest not writing about wanting to go to BU because I think this will not only not help you, but might hurt you somewhat.
