I was just wondering if I should address the fact that my father is a physician in my personal statement. I have always viewed the fact that he, his sister, and my grandfather are all physicians as something that would hurt me because admissions might get the impression, "he's being pressured into becoming a doctor because it is a family trend."
I mean, I guess being around it all my life has gotten me a lot of exposure to the field, but it's not a major reason for my choosing this path. Does this warrent being included in my ps to defend myself from assumptions, or should I ignore it since I don't see it as a big deal?
