Not enough information to say there is a pattern of theme.Gotcha. Out of curiosity, are there any themes or ideas that jump out to you from reading my application on first glance? I’ve been giving a lot of thought to how I’d want to structure a narrative but haven’t came up with anything conclusive yet.
At the end of your second class with that Prof ask for a LOR and store it through Interfolio. Your performance and personality will still be fresh in their minds.I’m definitely going to get a recommendation from a Professor I just took a CS-philosophy seminar class with this semester, and am taking a computational genomics class with next semester.
I agree.The theme right now is a smart extroverted student who is driven and involved in university.
I'm hoping to create a narrative around building connections, whether through community service.....
You can lean into this narrative more by immersing yourself into communities outside your immediate circles. This can include community service and also working clinically at a family med practice where longitudinal connections with patients can be seen daily.biggest draw in medicine for me has always been the prospect of building deep, longitudinal connections with patients and other staff
I can't think of a reason why you couldn't send an application. I don't know what they allow for discussing meaningful experiences, as one example, as I need to be more familiar with their application prompts. In a similar program, I would want to know how mature you are, how much you are committed to medicine and going to our program, and why it is important to get you now versus through a regular decision application. We are very careful not to pick people who we felt could jump ship and try the open market with an ED or RD application.Yup. After talking with some previous applicants, I'm thinking my flex factor will be something along the lines of having more time to delve into music (music theory classes at school, acapella performances, setting up a music program at the hospice center/local hospital, etc.), or exploring CS and healthtech/swe. Still not completely sure though. Do you think my application is competitive metrics/EC wise?
I definitely think you should understand that moral imperative for health care providers in general so doing many of the activities you list (specifically food distribution) are fine if you see how you help people similarly with maintaining their sense of self with dignity. So to that end, helping vulnerable people should be part of who you are regardless of profession since that's what everyone should do. Social work is especially rewarding.Sounds good. By the way, I've been doing some more thinking – do you think something along the lines of "helping vulnerable communities" could be a better narrative? It still explains hospice, potentially MA depending on what type of clinic I join, Red Cross, RA, college tutoring, Orientation Leader, and the science experiments for underserved local elementary schools club. I could also join a Soup kitchen/Food pantry or something similar. For context, the urologist I was shadowing this summer explained that the reason he loves his speciality is because he's able to work through people's biggest vulnerabilities and give them their confidence and dignity back everyday, which is something that really struck me.
