Make sure you fill out the Spring 2025 Applicant Experience Survey (link in my signature) if you haven't done so already.

Did you get any feedback on your application? What were your feelings about Colorado's interview?

Service orientation: so it's lacking, but I'm not sure if you are at zero, 60 (BCBS), or 100 (adult senior center, art class). Both feel like "tutoring/mentoring". More importantly, which activities stretch you out of your comfort zone that do not involve clinic/healthcare? You should have 150 hours of service orientation activities (food distribution, shelter volunteer, job/tax preparation, legal support, transportation services, or housing rehabilitation) on your application or it may get screened out at most schools.

To that end, can you list how each school on your wishlist can help you leverage your artistic skills further as a physician? What are their humanities-in-medicine programs like?

Ah I see I did not realize that service orientation activities were specifically those kinds of things--the adult senior center I was def not involved in the clinical side of things and the boys and girls club mentoring, I did through a school club. Maybe during the app cycle i can find something more directly service related to do on the weekends. I appreciate the feedback.

My Colorado interview was not the strongest, so I will do better interview prep. I did not feel I could properly showcase myself given some of their questions and since it was not a conversational interview, I did not know when to extend my answer, etc. It was a bit hard to gauge. I did ask for feedback and they said my clinical experience was low (at the time of my primary, I was only at my job for around a month, so only had 300 hrs for clinical volunteering--not a very active role).

I also recommend you get more community service, specifically with the underserved.
