Schools love to see applicants highlight clinical experiences in their W&A, but it can also be valuable to highlight non-clinical experiences. Particularly those which demonstrate your abilities in critical thinking, leadership, teamwork, and empathy. Over the next week or so, we'll share some of the activities that admissions committees love to see in applicants' W&A sections.
Big Academic Wins: To include awards and accolades in the W&A, you must go beyond listing them. Give some background about what you had to achieve to be recognized. If you did a thesis as part of your school's Honors College program, share the process, skills you learned, and how you felt upon accomplishing this goal. If you had any help reaching your goal, say so. Did a mentor work with you during office hours? Did a librarian help you track down a rare manuscript? Medical schools love it when a candidate seeks, accepts, and appreciates help.
