Hi Everyone. I apologize if a thread like this exists already, I was not able to locate it. I am applying to MSTP programs only and I am confused about goal and purpose of each writing section.
My question is how to balance my work/activity writing and research statement/personal statements. Since I heavily discuss my research experience in research statement, should I still include research experience in my work/activities as significant experiences(since they are)? Should i write about research in the work/activities section at all, and if I do, should I discuss it in a way that mostly does not overlap with research statement?
Also, I just briefly mentioned my dedication to research in medical school personal statement. Since I have room to talk about lab experience in research and md/phd essays, is a brief paragraph about dedication to research enough for personal statement?
And in general, does the same admission person read all of the essays and work activities/LORs or not?
Thank you
