I also had a thought about these types of questions, and I just thought I would include it in a similar thread. In my PS, I focused on some of the things I thought that made me stand out a bit more. However, I did this at the expense of omission of talking about how much I enjoy research I do (I have LOR from my PIs, and explained it in the ECs, so I didn't think it would be very necessary because it was a strength of my application already). Would it be ok to include a discussion of this in the "extra comments" section? And what about mentioned an interest in pursuing some clinical research becasue of this, even if I don't want an MD/PhD? I feel like thi can't hurt, especially to big academic medicine schools. Also, is a further discussion of my passion to become a doctor acceptable (I feel like there is more I could say in this regard)? Or will this stuff just make me too "cookie-cutter"? Any opinions?
