On this forum, I always see the phrases "mission fit" and "narrative" in reference to an application. Given the amount of times it is said, it certainly must be a crucial part of an application, but I still struggle to really understand what it means and how you can achieve it.
I've been thinking about activities I'd like to participate in and as opposed to doing scattered activities that don't relate very much, I wanted to try and pursue activities throughout the next 3 years that are tethered to Islam, my religion. I like neuroscience and psychology and mainly want to get into psychiatry in an attempt to reduce stigma regarding mental health in the Muslim community and provide an Islamic psychiatrist in my community that has lacked one for decades. My question is, how can I convey that through my activities over the next few years of undergrad and does this interest need to be shown in all types of activities I do (shadowing, non clinical work, research, etc)?
