Hey everyone,

Does anyone have some suggestions for the personal characteristics essay for the TMDSAS? Would you recommend starting with a story (like the personal statement) that shows the characteristics and then elaborating on them with a couple paragraphs? Or should I approach it like a diversity essay and show off characteristics that are uncommon in pre-meds.
 
Approach it like a diversity essay and show how you/your characteristics will add diversity and be beneficial to the class, school, medical community, etc...
