Dear SDNers,
I don't care how much of the Kool-Aid you've drunk; that's entirely your own business. But I offer this counsel: it's really best to avoid using trendy SJW terms like "check your privilege" (or any variant thereof) in your med school applications.
You never know who's going to review them.
Love,

Edit: Since several people have misunderstood the intent of this post, allow me to clarify. This has nothing to do with my personal beliefs on underprivileged groups or my reaction to trendy, loaded turns of phrase. It has everything to do with professionalism and figuring out how to express yourself in terms neutral enough to be acceptable to a diverse audience.
