Hey all,
I'm at the point in my application process where I am waiting until March for decisions. This coming week, I'm planning to send an update letter with information on my grades from last semester (worth sharing), some awards/designations, and the current state of a paper I will soon submit for publication (I talked of this in my interviews). Recently, I have decided to volunteer-teach English abroad over the summer to try something different and get a bit of traveling in before medical school (I've already been accepted to one program thus far so I am very fortunate to know where I'm going next year). After I decided I wanted to get involved, I recognized that this is something that could provide another picture of who I am as an applicant for the schools I'm waiting on (that I want to get into more than the school I've already been accepted to, which would be a great place, though I felt a greater connection at the other places). Do you all think this is worth including in the update letter? I understand it is beyond the application process timeline. I'll be sending an email to one of my interviewers these coming days to thank him for a book recommendation he gave me, I could also include my plans there (it is in line with what we talked about and the focus of the book).
