Hmmm... I might actually have it wrong...I guess you can't just write about one activity as I did on the Michigan one. I am confused as to whether they want us to elaborate on the things we have done and listed in the EC's on the original application or if they want us to list or if they want 6 mini essays...can anyone fill me in on what they think Stanford wants???? Oh..there is another line too:
"You do not need to repeat information already given on the AMCAS application. Do not include high school activities UNLESS you have continued the activity while in college."
So, then I don't have anything to say! haha
Here's the question:
8. The Committee on Admissions regards the diversity of an entering class as an important factor in serving the educational mission of the school. Although answering this question is optional, the Committee on Admissions strongly encourages you to share unique, personally important, and/or challenging factors in your background, such as the quality of your early educational environment, socioeconomic status, culture, race, ethnicity, or life or work experiences.
Please: a) discuss how such factors have influenced your goals and preparation for a career in medicine, and b) describe in detail (to the extent not included in previous answers) your involvement in campus or off-campus activities, paid or unpaid, in terms of community service, assumption of leadership roles, activities related to the care of others, etc.
Let me know what you guys think...
