2023-2024 Virginia Commonwealth (VCU) Secondary Essay Prompts (different from last year)
1. You are approached by a neighbor whom you are friendly with and who knows you are headed to medical school. The neighbor wants your opinion on whether she should have her healthy 3-year-old child vaccinated against COVID. The neighbor is well-researched and thoughtful, bringing up data that suggests limited long-term benefits of vaccination, while pointing to concerning, documented side effects. How would you respond to this dilemma? (Comments are limited to 2000 characters. Research on the topic is encouraged)
2. How do you define “grit”, and how have you demonstrated this in the past? (2000 character limit)
3. Please briefly explain any lapses in your undergraduate education that are not explained in your application.
4. Please briefly explain any low GPAs or poor grades.
5. If not addressed in your application, what are you currently doing now?
Good luck to everyone applying!
