Are you able to talk about things you have done to alleviate others' suffering without using the term "socialist"? Show us more about things you did rather than explain to us why.Hi! Thank you for your time. I would like to talk about being a socialist in my med school personal statement because it has been a large influencing factor in my passion for medicine and public health. I understand that talking about socialism could be seen as controversial, but I want my personal statement to be genuine and accurate to who I am. I also do not want to "make the case" for socialism or anything like that (others have told me I need to provide reasons for why I am a socialist and I don't think that's necessary) but rather how it driven my passion for medicine. And clearly this is not the only thing I would talk about and I'm not exactly a vocal "down with capitalism" type, however I'm worried that someone reading my statement may develop a negative bias regardless.
Please let me know your thoughts, and I appreciate it very much. Thank you!
