Admissions Information

Extracurricular Activities

Extracurriculars are the least important component of your application, but they should not be neglected. Your hobbies and casual pursuits should demonstrate that you have passion, talent, energy, motivation, and perseverance. They should also demonstrate that you have healthy ways to cope with stress. Medical school can be an extremely stressful experience, and the admissions committe needs to be assured that you have healthy ways of relieving stress.
