I'm working on my primary app right now and I have a question for those who were reapplicants and got accepted.

Did you completely change the work and activities descriptions? I am really not sure how I can change them because I was very descriptive for my first application. I feel like all I can do is just use different words and phrases but still talk about the same thing.

Any advice? Thanks!


I honestly don't see how I can change it considering it was all in the past. I can see why I should change ps since you grow up as a person but changing description of the research internship I did several years ago doesn't make sense to me that much.

Wait, are you thinking about submitting for this cycle?

I used most of the same wording as I did the first time I applied, but I made sure all activities answered 1) what the activity was, 2) what I got out of it, and 3) (if applicable) how it applies to the skills I will need in medicine (although I did this in a subtle way). I noticed that in my first application, some of my activity descriptions were more resume-like, so I changed them to follow this format.
 
No, maybe just rechecked them for anywhere I could add info, otherwise I left them the same.

The bolded approach is sufficient.
