Summary of Application Experience
Ultimately decided on MCW, can't wait to start!
I genuinely think it's important to travel your own unique path to medical school. Don't do EC's you think adcoms want to see. Be sure to check the boxes, but have fun along the way. Do things that interest YOU! Authenticity is extremely important in this process. Teaching is something I loved doing, so I did a lot of it. Research didn't interest me at all, so I didn't do any. Try new things, interact with people you wouldn't normally, and push yourself out of your comfort zone.
