<p>I talked about a non-science EC in the essay… was that a bad idea? It’s too late to change it now I guess haha. I talked about volunteering at a mentally challenged children’s school and how it established a more personal patient-doctor ish relationship for me</p>
<p>@predent oh… well I’d assume around the same time</p>
<p>Is it bad if my diversity essay had no references to anything that would help in the medical field, but just my determination that would help in any career? I hope it wasn’t too broad :/</p>
<p>Nothing in my EC’s or essays was really science, but some of it went back to what i’m interested in (neurobio). My essay was also non-science.</p>
<p>Once this is all over, can I read one of the essays of someone who gets in? hahahhaa</p>
<p>@Mlolo98 Yes please! </p>
<p>Are you guys in the bay area? The friend that went last year just told me only around 10 were from out of the bay area… which means the rest of America, probably majority of applicant pool, are competing for those ~10 spots… that makes admission chances much lower lol</p>
<p>I’ve never applied to anything this competitive, ever. It feels like college decisions to me HAA!</p>
<p>I’m in the Bay Area. @kei04086 hbu?</p>
<p>@Mlolo98 No I’m in SoCal haha… I really shouldn’t be this stressed out, especially with a backup, but I am haha</p>
<p>@kei04086 What is your backup? 
I applied to this, arthritis, and an internship @ twitter! :)</p>
<p>@Mlolo98 I’ve already been accepted into the Garcia Research Program, but I’d honestly prefer SIMR over it</p>
<p>@kei04086 CONGRATS! That’s still pretty cool. Pretty sure I’m not getting in anywhere. Good for you for having something already going!</p>
<p>@Mlolo98 thanks I’m sure you’ll get into something great too… I don’t think I’m gonna get into SIMR though, especially since I’m not from the bay area ):</p>
<p>Wait, so are we just assuming that they will call if you are accepted this time based on SIMR’s track record, or is that actually confirmed?</p>
<p>We are assuming</p>
<p>Post your results here tomorrow guys !!!</p>
<p>yeah so i’m an ORM (asssn) and i wrote about being asian american lol.</p>
<p>lol so ready for rejection y’all</p>
<p><3 hug me when i get my rejection email</p>
