As we look through this student’s full AMCAS application, we discuss:

• Should you list your future or current classes on your med school app?
• How to go beyond just basic descriptions in your activities section.
• Why “sales pitch” language hurts your med school application.
• Is it bad to include activities that you only did for 50 hours over the course of a few years?
• How NOT to write about research in a med school application.
• The concern I have when I see a lot of research and very little clinical experience on an application.
• Why I generally don’t recommend trying to connect your hobbies to medicine in the personal statement.
