In the event that you are accepted to two or more medicals schools, what factors would be most important in determining which school would be the "best fit" for you. (1200 characters limit)
Select an experience unrelated to science or medicine that you’ve had in each of the categories below. Just name the experience and then write a very brief statement about why you did the experience and/or what was the most important thing(s) you learned about yourself from doing it. You may write about a new experience or one listed in your AMCAS application. An experience may be used more than once. Leaving categories blank will not make your application incomplete. Limit your answers to the spaces provided.
1. A community service experience (unrelated to science or patient care). (1200 characters limit)
2. An employment experience (a job you held for pay unrelated to science or medicine). (1200 characters limit)
3. A position of responsibility/authority (in which others depended on you for direction). (1200 characters limit)
4. A creative endeavor (anything that required you to be creative in your approach, e.g. art, dance, music, computer programming, web site design, writing). (1200 characters limit)
5. A situation in which you interacted with individuals who were different from you. (1200 characters limit)
6. Sports, travel, pets, hobbies: Choose one of the following and write about it as you did in 1-5 above: a) a sport in which you participate or follow); b) your most memorable travel experience; c) pet(s) for which you provided care; or d) an avocation (most important thing you do for distraction). (1200 characters limit)
Describe any compelling humanitarian reason you have to attend our College of Medicine. If none, leave blank. (1200 characters limit)
Good luck to everyone applying!
