Are you deep into medical school secondary essay madness? I am sure you have seen or will see secondary questions like this:
"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."
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.
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.
