Diversity is one of the most popular secondary essay topics. The point of these types of questions is to prove how you will make a unique contribution to the medical school class.
For example:
At the XXX Medical School, we are committed to building a superb educational community with students of diverse talents, experiences, opinions, and backgrounds. What would you as an individual bring to our medical school community?
If Applicable, describe a situation where you were not in the majority.
When the word “diversity” is used, many think of racial diversity. But this is a very limited view. Think outside the box. Do you speak a foreign language? Are you a non-traditional applicant with significant “real world” experience? Other possibilities include athletic achievements, musical/art/dance talent, and international experience. Everyone can add diversity to a class.

ReplyDeleteWhat a helpful info! Great! I believe that the most effective and appealing diversity medical school essay is where an applicant includes something original and even extraordinary. It’s a winning strategy to make your piece of writing unique because it means the selection committee will remember it for sure! Just put yourself in the admissions officer’s shoes: how boring you’ll be after reading hundreds of similar essay with general statements and nothing extraordinary. That’s why diversity can be a great topic which will make you stand out from the crowd! My personal advice is to be confident and always believe in success.
