So I have an idea for this secondary prompt that I know I could work through the whole how did I overcome this, how it changed me etc., but I don't want to come off as too woe-is-me or spend too much time on a story. Any thoughts/recs?
Week 2 freshman year my roommate attempted suicide, I got her the ambulance, etc. I lived with her for a few months after. It was really traumatic. I almost quit science and dropped out, but reached out for help and ended up very fine.
This story is the first thing that came to mind, but I don't know. Another topic is that I was sexually assaulted by a friend right before applications opened and the MCAT, and applying to med school gave me purpose as I coped, but I would imagine that's not appropriate to speak about.
Or neither of these topics- just need advice!
