Yep!
For the prompt regarding non-traditional academic work, is it speaking strictly on other types of courses you have taken such as humanities, liberal arts, etc.? Would research be included in this non-traditional? Research is the obvious answer for being able to prepare yourself for a career in medicine.
Thank you!

I think that's ok, and you can even mention how creativity is a natural part of your thought process, using the divesity, adversity and then a new example to reinforce that idea. I'll read yours later if you wantOk, I'm in a slight pickle. My entire diversity essay stems around my creative design work. My adversity essay is how I creatively overcame a huge obstacle in my life. My response to how my academic work is based on my undergraduate program, which was focused entirely on creativity. Creativity is the major theme in my life. Then I get to the "how has creativity helped you" prompt and I'm afraid I've already answered that in the other essays. I hope this bodes well for my application - and I have more examples of creativity helping me - but I was wondering if anyone else has had any similar problems and if anyone would be willing to read through my responses later today to see if I properly answer the questions? I'm trying to split my diversity essay into two parts (one is about my creative thinking - the other is about how I applied it to my home renovation and my design blog). I will probably be done a little later tonight and wouldn't mind if someone could tell me if I split everything out well.

II about an hour ago!
Still not complete since Thursday!!! Cmon Wake, wake up!!
1. How prepped should I be for any tough ethics questions?Current MS1. I found talking with current students to be the most beneficial way to prepare for my interviews, so if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask!
Thanks! Sorry for the late reply.Congrats!!! When were you complete and do you mind sharing your stats?
1. I dont think that I had any ethical questions at all on interview day. If I did, they were very straight forward and didn't require pre-planning or a detailed response. This can obviously change from year to year and from interviewer to interviewer.
2. The atmosphere of my interviews was extremely relaxed, and by far the least stressful out of all my experiences. Every school I attended claimed that their interviews were "laid back and relaxed", but wake really made sure to make that happen (unlike some others). Last year it was 3 separate 15 minute interviews. You either have them first thing in the morning, or later in the day. You stand outside the first interview room, an intercom system tells you to enter and when to exit, you walk to the next room and do the same. Two other interviewees rotate with you and then afterwards you have a financial aid talk, tour of school from a current student, lunch, and meeting deans of admissions (all awesome people)
3. Seriously, be prepared for "Why Wake". Truly have some reasons why you applied because you will be asked by every interviewer. I understand that it fell within your LizzyM range and that they're OOS friendly, but dig a little deeper into their website and past school specific threads. It's an unbelievable school, with amazing brand new facilities, extremely early patient contact (literally while you're still in LAUNCH - which you should find out about), and in a low COL environment.
We are going to MMI this year, so any advice on how we did it in the past will not be as helpful.Current MS1. I found talking with current students to be the most beneficial way to prepare for my interviews, so if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask!
Same. I just submitted right now. I know the rule of thumb is to submit within 2 weeks of receiving the secondary but I lost it in my junk file for the first week and then finished my internship and move back across the nation during my second week, so I submitted a little over 3 weeks after receiving the secondary. I hope this is not seen as a lack of interest in the school because that is not accurate at all.A couple of these essays required more introspection then I anticipated. I did not get to submit until yesterday. I hope this will not be a significant disadvantage. The opportunities here are great!

On the secondary it only had spots to designate the two letters being sent to them from AMCAS. However, MSAR says they will take up to 6 and so when I originally submitted I sent 5. Does anyone know whether they will read more than the two letters or are they going to only read the two they asked for?
Ahh I see. Lol neat! I hope that means we'll both be successful!It says on their website that although MSAR says they take up to 6, they cannot guarantee that the ones other than the two you listed in the secondary will be read. On the other hand, we are nearly identical stats applicants!

Great! Good to know.some adcoms on here say the 2 week thing is a myth, so im sure youre fine

Submitted WF 7/28, received complete email today. Here we go!
Did you get the email? I really wanted to submit earlier, but I also didn't want a bad grade in m
Dang, is that how long it's taking? I'm dying to know when I'll be complete. I guess turning it in at the beginning of this week does not bode well.
That's less than 2 weeks?
Yeah - Not long compared to Johns Hopkins, but long compared to places that mark you as complete when they already have your letters, the fee, and the secondary. I'll hang tight.
They mark you complete and send you the email later from what I see.
I'm having the same problem coming from a design-based master's.
