okay, just wanted some advice. there is only one essay-type question that pretty much seems geared toward disadvantaged/URM applicants toward the end of the app, that reads as follows:
The Committee on Admissions regards the diversity of an entering class as an important factor in serving the educational mission of the school. The Committee on Admissions strongly encourages you to share unique, personally important, and/or challenging factors in your background, such as the quality of your early educational environment, socioeconomic status, culture, race, ethnicity, or life or work experiences. Please discuss how such factors have influenced your goals and preparation for a career in medicine.
My question is, since I am neither URM nor socioeconomically disadvantaged, should i just leave this blank or not? i could write about some stuff from my childhood, but i don't want to come off disingenuous. anyway, what do y'all thinK?
