Ways to make yourself stand out

[Muffinho]

ahhh i see what you did thar!!!! But seriously though....I am skilled in the arts of Brazillian Jiujitsu. On my app, im gonna play up my organizational leadership skills

I teach and train BJJ myself; everytime I have applied for a job, the interviewer has asked about it. Makes the rest of the interview go very smoothly.

I would love to teach a martial art on a regular basis. Unfortunately (or maybe not), it takes bloody forever to reach that point with Aikido.

That's really cool, and certainly commands a bit of respect in itself, regardless of who you're talking to. That puts you at an advantage for interviews, I would say.

I also have the added bonus of coaching MMA fighters (2 low level pros, a bunch of amateur fighters).

As a non-trad applicant, however, my concern is not the interview itself, but getting one lol.

So everyone has heard about how checking all the boxes for medical school is the wrong way to go about your undergraduate career. How Its more than high GPA, good MCAT, and you're classic EC's (research, clinical, community, etc). Standing out to adcoms is becoming harder and harder with so many applicants with great EC's.

What are some ways to stand out and make an impression? What are your plans and what have you done?

When the interviewer asks you about what makes you unique, drop down to the ground and do"THE WORM"
