Hi all,

In describing goals for the coming year(ties with story told in my PS), I am debating whether or not to include such a phrase as "a place in medical school." Is this generally frowned upon, should gaining acceptance to med school not be in the PS, or is that an okay move? I mean, that's why we're all here, but does it come off badly?

Thanks,

Heronsbeak

in general, thats not taboo.

But its impossible to tell you how your usage of the phrase comes across without the context of your entire essay.

Have people read it
