Hello all,
I applied to over 20 MD schools this cycle with a LizzyM of 71-72 (high GPA and solid MCAT) but am still on 3 waitlists from the 3 schools I interviewed at and thus am preparing to reapply this cycle and submit on June 1.
That being said, the parts of my application I was told are the weakest are volunteering (which I've improved), shadowing (which I've improved), and LOR (which I've improved).
However, I am not sure if I should change the descriptions of the activities in my activity section that have remained the same from last cycle. Anyone have advice on this?
In regards to my personal statement, I want to keep the same general themes, however would it be sufficient to keep the essay generally the same while incorporating my new activities in, including how they've impacted my thoughts about medicine and impacted me personally? (In addition to editing some wording throughout)
