<p>I was wondering what a good response for essays are. I know this varies person to person, but I'm sure some adcoms like to see certain things mentioned when it comes to the topic about why the student is choosing a ba/md program over the traditional route and why they want to be a doctor. Like I said, I know this is subjective but I'm sure that there are certain things they would like to see in the responses.</p>
<p>I have no idea, but I'd definitely want to know the same thing. I mean, I think I'm a pretty good essay writer, but I have no idea what to write about for the UMKC essay. Alot of the reasons aren't something that can really be put down on paper. I know I have the desire and motivation, but I really need to find a way to convince admissions people of that.</p>
<p>Why medicine? What have you done to confirm your interest in medicine? Why BS/MD and not traditional route? Why should we choose you? What makes you interesting? What are your goals? Leadership?</p>
<p>Pretty standard. They want people who are excellent students/leaders and who have a keen interest in medicine.</p>
<p>right, so I was wondering what I should put. I know its subjective for each person and that I'll be able to write something but there are certain things they look for and I was wondering what those things were.</p>
<p>Just be honest, but don't be blunt about certain things like benefits of medicine. Still include them because they aren't going to believe the humanitarian spiel.</p>
<p>I'm confused what to write when they ask me why I want to go to their school and why I'm choosing the bs/md route instead of the traditional route. I don't want to write something they won't like. Help!</p>
