<p>HOOK WILL COME OUT IN ESSAY

He plans to write his personal paper on his devotion to habitat for humanity and tie in how his life is like building houses.. and give some details about his medical pursuits..giving concern about humanity at large..and focusing on nature of medicine</p>

<p>My friend and I would greatly appreciate any reponses. Thank you.</p>

<p>double poster! Don't do it again.Essay sounds like a great idea. Good ECs, it's hard to make a good judgement though with out any standardized stats. Also, the volunteer project in south korea may not be a good thing to elaborate on especially in the essay. It's nice to put down, but admissions officers told me that writing your essay about service trips = how I spent an exuberant amount of money to go sort of help out poor people in foreign countries/get a sweet vacation. These trips aren't always that respected.</p>
