MD-General Questions
1. Activities and Achievements
In this section of the Supplemental Application, please provide a synopsis of your activities, achievements, and distinctions, including those that might have occurred after you submitted your AMCAS application. You do not need to repeat the "Experience Description" passages from your AMCAS application. Instead, we are looking for a bullet-point list that will provide a "snapshot" of your activities, achievements, and distinctions.
When creating this list, please use actual or projected future dates. Do not say "present" or "current," as these terms are often ambiguous or misleading at the time your application is being read. Also, please specify the location of your activity if it is not obvious from context. For example, "Shadowing neurosurgeon, Yale New Haven Hospital" is more informative than "Shadowing neurosurgeon" without the name of the hospital.
