Anyone else unable to open the "Suggestions on writing LOI, update, thank you, and other types of letters" or the "Women's interview clothing" ?? Whenever I press either of these, it takes me to an SDN Upgrade system log in?

How do I write X letter? LOI, update, thank you, withdrawal, correction, status

After seeing endless questions regarding how to go about writing the various letters germane to the medical (and other professional) school application process, I decided to compile some templates for everyone to use. I'll be sending it to Tots in the hope he can sticky this to the application...

Women's Interview Attire #4

Hi all, the last interview clothing thread was created in 2011 and reached almost 5,000 messages. I thought it would be nice to create a new one and to have the first post include some common knowledge as gleaned from the previous threads. Special thanks to @DokterMom, @gyngyn, and @Winged...

If I have a clinical volunteering position in which I had a leadership position at, should I list it as Leadership or Clinical Volunteering?

Are there any moderators here that would be willing to give me feedback on some of my answers for a secondary application I'm working on? It's due November 1st so I could really use some advice. If not, can you please refer me to the right place so I can find someone to help me since it's time sensitive?

Thank you
