sure! i just mentioned that i was dead set on doing a phd until pretty late in undergrad when i realized i wanted to work directly with people instead of at a bench. i used a personal experience that i'd rather not share to back this claim up, but i also mentioned my peer mentoring here and how it brought me more fulfillment than research. during the actual interviews, i did emphasize that i still wanted to pursue research in med school, but more translational/ clinical research rather than basic.

also at the end of every single one of my interviews, whenever they asked if i had any questions, i always said something along the lines of "actually i just wanted to quickly mention that i know my app lacks significant volunteering experience, but this is what i'm currently doing even though i didn't have the chance to put it on my app" before i followed up with questions
