i know everyone says not to include anything you did in high school in your application/essay. but i'm having a hard time with this...
my situation is that i'm applying to med school now as a new colege gread. in high school i got involved in 2 medical research opportunities, one more clinical, one more basic science. neither one led to me being in a publication, but in my view they were still one of the first things that really told me that i could do medicine and like it. both experiences were about six months long, but again, its not like i did this full-time or anything. but i've been wanting to include the experiences even in my amcas essay because they seem important to me as a beginning of my interest in med.
so should i just choose something from college+ to focus on? it's hard to explain "why i want to be a doc" without at least mentioning them, if not focusing on them...
