Is it a 👍 or a 👎 to write about your stance on current pharmaceutical issues in your personal statement?

a book on writing personal statement said not to mention potentially controversial subjects.

No, I wouldn't put that in a personal statement.

👎 You do not want to offend anyone that holds your future in their hand.

if the prompt doesn't ask for your stance on current pharmaceutical issues don't include it.

Nothing makes some people irritated faster than someone else who is saying something they disagree with politically.

I was annoyed the Auburn interview essay was so highly political! However, I did not hide my political stance. Apparently they were looking for well substantiated answers from all view points.

But still, unless someone asks it is way safer not to tell. 😉
