Yes. Small difference.

Hmmm...it looks like girl #2 would be hotter than girl #1 with any hairstyle.
 
I totally agree. I find it really interesting when people on this website get stumped by the diversity question, cause they're "just white" or "just asian". I'm biracial, trilingual, have grown up in a few different countries, and I didn't mention it in my diversity essays. It's not what makes me different from everyone else, because at least as far as my race is concerned, it's just what I was born to be, which isn't interesting. What makes me diverse isn't my race or background, it's my opinions and interests and unique perspective. You are your own advocate- if you don't think you're different from the mass of pre-meds applying, first of all I feel sorry for you (do you REALLY only like medicine, research, volunteering, and shadowing? Really?!) and second I'm worried you won't be able to convince anyone else you're worthy of a second look. The last thing you want to be in this process is a wallflower.

👍

This prompt is an invitation to talk about yourself. At first I thought it sucked, but it's really one of the easier prompts I've seen. Talk about your hobbies, your family, your values, whatever.
 
haha i love these.

the diversity question is such a crock of BS on those applications.

for one school that i applied to on a whim, i put down that since i was white, i set a "norm" by which diversity can then exist in the first place. i wrote that i was so white, that anyone standing next to me is "diverse" by comparison and without white males like me, there can be no environment to "diversify"

for the sake of this story, ill have the ending be that i got in to said schools with a full scholarship.

That's pretty funny. But it's probably a mistake to assume they only mean ethnic background. It really could be anything that makes you unique that will contribute to the educational environment and the medical profession.

The definition of "cuteness" differs by era? Please elaborate....

Well yeah. Have you seen depictions of Venus by era?

What about the phrase "Who is the fairest of them all?" Yes, being vampirically pale used to be a sign of beauty.
 
excellent . . . if this is true, i'm going to band together with all the girls in my (future) med school class to wear skimpy outfits on exam days in order to distract dudes and drop the curve. 👍👍

I'm not worried, I'm sure us dudes can figure out ways to distract the girls...
 
This can go either way. If I were to apply to a gynecology residency which supposedly is primarily female, I would put down that the diversity I could bring comes from the fact I have a penis.

Forget gynecology! Since there's approximately a 1:1 male:female ratio for med school in general, then being male contributes to diversity just as much as being female. :laugh:
