Hi all,
Tufts has the following optional secondary prompt:
We understand that many applicants encounter academic hardships along the way. Please comment on any academic difficulties that you have encountered since completing high school (grades and MCAT scores) and that you believe might adversely affect your likelihood of medical school acceptance. We believe that such difficulties offer an opportunity for growth and would appreciate learning how your experiences have affected your approach to academics. If you have not encountered any difficulties, you may answer 'No'.
I had a 3.4 in undergrad, including one semester below 3.0. In my postbac, I have maintained a 3.95 for 4 semesters, and I could easily talk about the growth I've experienced that has allowed me to perform at a higher level. I'm happy to write a short essay about that, but I'm not sure if that's what they really mean.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
