And even if that's a message you want to get across, it's easier said than done. As for your second question, I'm not sure what you're asking me... do you mean what do I think of the question, or what do I think of those answers...? Hi Rebecca,

I’m sure a lot of applicants do write about examples that show they can be persistent and dedicated, but that’s very different from showing that they are genuinely serious about medicine and being dedicated towards medicine in the long run. And even if that’s a message you want to get across, it’s easier said than done.

As for your second question, I’m not sure what you’re asking me… do you mean what do I think of the question, or what do I think of those answers…?

I guess I was wrong This isn't necessarily med school, but I heard that if the question asks for "Describe a time in which things were so bad that you thouught the world was going to end," some people have considered writing a negative event, such as cheating on a test/exam or a "biting more than you could chew" thing. What do you think of that? I always thought that a lot of applicants would write about dedication and how they persisted… I guess I was wrong

What do you think of that?
