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.
