I am filling out the pod application and was wondering if anyone else listed their hobbies like soccer, working out, etc and what did you put it under? I wasn't sure if I should include it in my personal statement or in application or both?
thanks!

Well, the app doesn't ask you to describe hobbies, per se. Rather extracurricular activities. For ex.: If you were on the college soccer team, definetely put it down! If you just play soccer for fun, don't put it down. There is a section called Extracurricular Activities (or something like that) that lets you list/describe what you have done throughout your college years.

Also, the personal statement asks why you want to be a podiatrist. Don't change the subject and say what you like to do on your free time. They'll probably ask you that question during an interview 🙂

Good luck filling it out!

EDIT: itswiggles also brings up a good point; see below.

- I would only mention them in your PS if they somehow relate to Podiatry or why/how it has helped you choose Podiatry as a profession. If you want to put them in your app, I guess you could list them under your EC section? But I am not sure on that one.
