First, I caved and finally joined SDN and MDapplicants. I’m not sure how often, if ever, I’ll post there, but at least I now have the option.
Second, I met with one of the physicians in my department, and got some really great advice for working on my personal statement. After that meeting, I spent time updating and editing the essay, and as of yesterday, I have a draft complete enough to send out for feedback. I was getting discouraged with how slowly it was coming along, but this most recent draft is something I’m proud of.
Now I’ll turn my attention to writing out all the descriptions of my work and activities for the AMCAS. The application goes live in just a few days, and although the first submission date isn’t until June, I’d like everything to be done well in advance.
