This is my first time applying to vet school. I'm a non-traditional student that has spent the last 4 years working on my prerequisite classes. I spent 13 years working as a legal secretary and paralegal before deciding to return to veterinary medicine.
After an agonizing 2 hours entering all my previous coursework (and kicking myself for being a slacker at 21), I've reached the part of the application where they want to know about my "leadership roles and responsibilities"... I'm unsure what to put here. I was never a club president, I haven't been a supervisor in my jobs so to speak, but I was trusted and responsible for working on patent applications for multi-million dollar companies.
Should I enter my work history in this section? Should I mention the fact that I maintained a mortgage and a household for nearly 20 years? I mean if that's not responsibility what is?
Just not sure what I should list ....any guidance from any other non-trads would be greatly appreciated.
