@preppedparent In terms of the intellectual vitality, I’d like to cite my internship in India as a supplement to my passion for science. My volunteer work at local clinics (I work directly with visitors) are also an indication of my interest in both science and personal connection. Those two point towards the type of doctor I’d like to be in the future.
Also, I agree that my EC’s are not incredibly distinct but I do think they are particularly focused. Would you agree?
And, my stats are not great (my GPA) but I’d like to make up for it through my EC’s and essays. In your honest opinion, does anyone think I’d be able to get into Stanford this way?
