Do my most meaningful experiences have to tie back to medicine? As in, do I have to talk about why they'll make me a better doctor? I know people say not to force it, but is it expected that at least one or two of them do this?
 
The instructions only offer you three additional spaces, but they don't tell you how to choose.

Your strategy and profile dictate which experiences you should highlight.

So, it depends on you in how you highlight the entire set of experiences as being relevant to preparing for medical school. And not all of them need to tie to medicine.

Just don't end each description with, "and that's why this experience has prepared me to be a doctor."
