<p>yello! The common app and other essays have been discussed a lot. But, there isn't really a thread where BS/MD or dual degree in medicine program essays have been discussed. So, feel free to discuss anything about the essays in BS/MD! I'll begin. In the why pursue medicine, should you talk about traumatic experiences if you have had one or would the admissions officer reject you because they think someone's emotionally manipulating them. Because I talk about a traumatic experience but the very emotional part is just a couple of lines. Should I go along?</p>
