Talk about year-off activities in PS?

[mcchicken1985]

Hey all,

I'm a graduating senior applying this cycle, and I was wondering if I should discuss my plans for the off-year in the personal statement, especially if it relates to my healthcare interests from undergrad.

Thanks for the feedback.

I think I devoted a single sentence in my PS describing my activities for the next year. On interviews I was asked about those activities, so I think it was a good to include them.

If you have the room, why not?

you probably have a sentence about how devoted you are to medicine and committed to it, so then you can add another sentence or two explaining how you'll stay devoted to it in the next year, by whatever you're gonna be doing.

You will be asked that question on a lot of secondaries.

Many secondaries ask this question as previously posted but also I listed some upcoming events on my AMCAS app too in the ECs section.. Again this is pending room would I suggest you do this... that is the only reason I did.
