Hi Adcoms!
I have a question regarding awards. It was just announced that I received my college's Outstanding Biological Sciences Student Award. My friend asked if I'm going to put it on my med school application, but I really didn't know what to tell her.
Is that something people list or is it too small and petty to list? I'm proud of it because I'm a nontraditional student who didn't have the best undergrad track record. I returned 6 years after I graduated college and thus far, I have 30+ science credits with a 4.0. I've made a complete turnaround, so I feel like the award emphasizes that. I'm just not sure if it's the type of thing that belongs on the application since I'm sure many pre-meds receive awards and scholarships that are much more prestigious.
