"I can make a mean PB&J"

 

[BluMist]

I did not ask the internet about answering this question.

 

[Sailor Senshi Dermystify]

I am ME, duh!

My DNA and fingerprints.

I am prefect in every way.

 

[Dr.Smexy]

My answer was "Excellent question! It's time we talk about why I'm great. When I wake up in the morning and scratch my tummy, my rock hard 2% body fat abs remind me why I need to be sympathetic toward obese patients. In the bathroom, while putting on my 500$ lotion after a throughout exfoliation with the most exclusive face wash, I am struck by my beautifully flawless skin. This motivates me to give my all to my future patients when I match dermatology at Mass General. After this, during my light breakfast of caviar on Eagles' egg scramble with truffle oil, I continue to reflect on my understanding and passion for the underserved of medicine. At school, looking at my painfully boring 4.0 GPA and 40 MCAT, I am constantly reminded of the need of being a diverse individual. In conclusion, I am a perfect, divine, and extraordinary homo sapien."

This is the correct answer.

Mr. Bateman has opted for a career change I see. I feel you will have plenty of time for your hobby working in medicine.

Tell the interviewer it is their job to find out and not mine.

 

[gyngyn]

I saw an interview report in which the candidate replied "my sunny disposition reflected by my golden hair and translucent complexion."

Did blonde Dr. Barbie get accepted???

This has to be a southern CA thing!

I am not sure what I would say, but I would be thinking "Did you even bother reading my application? How often are you going to get a non-trad gay transsexual mixed race Orthodox Jew who overcame a medical phobia to apply to medical school after being a government consultant and doing work with the space program?"

Your guess is as good as mine as to what I would actually say. I would not be that snarky though.

 

[HybridEarth]

Basically said something along the lines of "you won't find anyone else with this combination of life experiences"

 

[gyngyn]

She was from there...

"I can make a mean PB&J"

You might be joking, but I really think adcoms would be impressed by an applicant who could not only grab their attention with an initial "wow factor", but also able to somehow tie it seamlessly back to medicine.

I like making cool armor, helmets and weapons with EVA foam, fiberglass/resin and power tools! I've recently applied my mad skillz in Dominican Republic where I sculpted a 3d model of the ear for teaching purposes.
