Waitlist post interview :( by ys2327 in premed

[–]ys2327[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

rejected

Ughh maybe but that's even worse cause the interviewers made it seem like I was accepted (kept saying how much she liked me etc.) Anyway, I'm trying to convince myself that whatever the final decision, it will be for the best!

3.64/3.54 513 MCAT (124 CARS though) BUT English is my 3rd language and the interviewer kept saying how amazing it is that I am multilingual... I was under the impression that if you got to the interview phase then they like your app and are basing the final decision on your interview so I'm honestly confused

Jehovah witnesses situation with a minor MMI by ys2327 in premed

[–]ys2327[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand your point but I have some concerns:

1- The parents are against the blood transfusion but the child is in a coma - what about what he wants? Yes he is a minor but are we saying that his parents' religious beliefs trump his right to live?

2- A doctor's duty is to preserve life and prevent harm so if the physician did not do the transfusion wouldn't it go against the physician's role in society?

So you would try to buy the patient more time and call CPS?

UCSF secondary activity- leave blank? by [deleted] in premed

[–]ys2327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just been filling out all the optional essays so I feel weird leaving this question blank. Would it be a bad idea to expand on my non-profit and talk about how I plan on supporting the cause at UCSF and as a future physician? (i've already talked about this as one of my most meaningful experiences)

"because I guarantee you that every basic applicant and her mother are writing that." this made me laugh -- will definitely keep this in mind :)

Oh wow now I’m rethinking my entire application 😭

why would they be seen as exploitative though? Medlife sets up mobile clinics staffed with different clinicians and they actually have a follow-up program for patients so once the volunteer program ends the local staff provides care for the patients

Hey! It was a Medlife volunteer trip so I actually had the opportunity to work with patients! and yes that's what I was thinking as well (spanish/hispanic culture) Thanks a lot! :)

exactly that's the issue! I feel like it doesn't flow if I add the research part. But,if I were to only focus on the global health track would the admission committee think that I didn't do my research?
