Members don't see this ad.

quick questios:

we just bullet point the description of our activity?

whats the difference between experience name (didnt we already answer this in the organization type) & organization name

the contact first and last name would the advisor or the doctor we shadowed??

for entering in your course information (OMG ITS SUCHA BIOYTCH), for the credit hours.. say you got an A- in Philosophy a 3 credit class.. would you put 3.0 or would you put 11.01 (out of 12) because that is the credit hours you earned? sorry if this seems like a silly quesiton :/

also, where does it show our BCPM GPA and overall GPA.. im guessing it calculates it for you and you dont do it yourself

if someone could take the time to answer these small quick questions.. id really appreciate it!!

1. Your call. Some people use bullets; some write paragraphs. Some use bullets for few activites (ex. shadowign) and write paragraphs for others.

2. Experience name: Research on social Dynamics of Tent Cities
Organization Name: Univeristy of X, Tent City Instiite

3. The concerned person: if you shadowed a doctor, put the doc's name; if worked in a lab, write the PI's name; if volunteered, write your supervisor in the department or head of the volunteer departmnet.

4. 3.0

5. Once you subumit, they verify your info and grades and they calculate it for you. you wont find that out unitl after verification (i.e. 3-4 weeks after submission)

what is there is an organization at my school that volunteers at pregnancy crisis center in the area.. now i put the organization name..

but for the experience name should I put "volunteer and fundrasie for prenancy crisis centers" or should i put "co-president of this orgnaization"

similarly with a cultural organization.. should i put "president of this cultural group" for the experience name because there were so many things i did with the organization.. im not sure what else to put for the experience name

🙁 this application process makes me sad

Always put the highest title.

Experience: President of XYZ
Organization Name: XYZ, Y Univeristy

again put presidnet of cultural organization
culturla organization, Y university

Sometimes adcoms donot read the entire descripton; they will just gloss through the expereinces names, and titles to get an idea of what you did, then they may decide to comeback and read the whole thing. So Make those titles clear and concise.

one more question: if we have AP credit from high school.. do we add that into the course work and put 2005-2006 for the school year and put 'other' for the term (since its both fall and spring)

they explained this somewhere but i cant find it anymore :/
sry i promise that is my last question

Hey,

im confused on this as well, for example when we do tutor/volunteering at an organization what would be the Experience Name? Just Volunteer or Tutor

Thanks!
