In the CAS application form, under the special and related acitivities. WHen you write, are they expecting you to write things only related to neurology, or can i write that i do this and that as a hobby like basketball, play music.?? also, when they ask you which electives have you done, what do u write? just about the elective, or do they want you to talk about it??? thanks

Don't worry, people reading the apps aren't that picky. I don't think there's any specific rule for what should or shouldn't be in that section. You can use it as an overflow section for other sections if you need, or u can use it to list any research or neuro related stuff you did. I'd just label each subsection, so you don't seem to just from research to hobbies at random. However, I believe that there is a special section for hobbies and interests. As for electives, you can write the name of the elective, place, preceptor and if you want, one or 2 sentances just summarizing what you did during that elective. Don't stress out- there's no absolute way of filling out the CAS form. 😉
