Hello y'all!
So I pre-wrote all of the secondary answers to my only state school -- OHSU. I based my answers off of the questions they haven't changed in several years. Of course these questions changed for my cycle.
The one I am concerned about is their "diversity" question. Before, it was a very basic question. This year, they have expanded it to this:
"Please discuss how your personal experience demonstrates the ability to overcome adversity and contributes to diversity in the provision of healthcare. Please include any insight into the diversity that you would bring to OHSU School of Medicine and the profession of medicine in the context of OHSU's definition of diversity: Diversity at OHSU requires creating and sustaining a community of inclusion. We honor, respect, embrace and value the unique contributions and perspectives of all employees, patients, students, volunteers and our local and global communities. Diversity may include age, color, culture, disability, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. We respect diversity of thought, ideas and more. Diversity maximizes our true potential for creativity, innovation, quality patient care, educational excellence and outstanding service. (2000 characters) "
I had already written a diversity essay about my love for architecture and design. Specifically, I talk about why I love it, but then I move on to my understanding of how physical space impacts one's health and how environment needs to be considered when designing a treatment plan. Basically, it's a brief discussion of inclusivity and accessibility in space.
I am wondering if this can still be used? I find their question to be a little confusing.
Thank you!
