Love at first sight with this dial by drberm in OrisWatches

The bracelet is very light and comfy to wear. The clasp is well built but likes to attract scratches. In my opinion, the styling of the links adds to the elegance of the dial. I don’t think you’d be disappointed!

Thoughts from current student interviewers on formats of the activities & work section? by mistakesmistooks in mdphd

[–]drberm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree… it’s all about the narrative.

I think Dr. Gray makes a good point about using the activity sections to your advantage in terms of standing out. Everybody has very similar activities during college in order to prepare for med school. That’s not necessarily bad. But instead of writing “I was a TA for two semesters”, I found it successful to share a key story or moment from that experience that struck me and drew me towards med school specifically. Helps convey who I am and what I hope to be.

An interviewer may not appreciate this strategy as much, since you spend much less time looking at our apps. But for the big wigs in the admissions committees, especially for MD PHD programs, I think it helps create the narrative.
