This is my first post on here. Hope I did it right lol. Anyway here's the Wake Forest prompt:
"Please share an experience that demonstrates how you have collaborated with others. (Max 200 words)"
My biggest focus is trying to not sound repetitive in the experience I choose, but maybe that isn't a big deal. In my other drafted prompts for Wake Forest and in my primary application I tended to emphasize teamwork/collaboration if possible. Another thing is I'm not sure if this should be an anecdote from an activity or a general experience. Here's what I got so far:

Another thing is I'm not sure if this should be an anecdote from an activity or a general experience. Here's what I got so far:
- My work as an EMT in a clinic for the past 2 years working with physicians, nurses, social workers, and other EMTs/MAs. I already spoke a lot on this in my primary application and my personal statement, but less on the collaboration aspect and more on the patients I saw. There was one instance where a car hit a pedestrian outside the clinic during our lunch and 2 of my coworkers and I ran over to help-- could be an interesting anecdote. This was one of my MMEs btw.
- Volunteering in an ortho surgery research lab with graduate students and other volunteers/students for the last 2.5 years. Did presentations here to my team + collaborated all the time on various projects. I haven't brought this up a ton in prompts besides during my primary since it was one of my MME. I could talk about a specific project.
- Playing this hockey-adjacent game called Bandy throughout undergrad + since I was like 4. Grew up playing team sports and did many other intramurals during undergrad. In my primary description I talked about teamwork being a big part of bandy and the enjoyment it provided me. I could talk about a specific season or game etc..
- Serving in a restaurant with my tight knit group of coworkers/friends the last 3 years through undergrad. With servers, hosts, kitchen staff, bartenders, there are a lot of people to communicate with and rely on to make things work. I highlighted teamwork a lot in my primary description + during my MME description. Could talk about a hectic evening.
