Hey guys,

I was wondering, how did , for those of you who did a masters, like an MPH, post bacc, or another masters that wasn't necessarily all science classes, incorporate it into your PS. Like is it okay to say, after undergrad, I didn't feel prepared for med school but after academically doing better in most of the science classes at my masters, i feel much more prepared. like dedicate a paragraph to this? or any ideas?


on a second note, i heard its not necessary to talk about grades in PS, but should i incorporate grad school into my PS? maybe i can talk about it in secondaries , i don't see it since ive only completed one year of my masters
