Lactic Folly Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Membership in an interest group isn't really an item that is highlighted on one's application... even leading an interest group isn't as of much value as students might suppose... so no, it doesn't make any difference.

I would have thought it was a very solid way to show leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Well, it would depend on what you accomplished through the position, but for the vast majority of cases, leading an interest group is more of an organizational task setting up talks and shadowing. It serves more as a marker of interest in the specialty (like doing electives/research), and in terms of leadership, is not in the same league as someone who began a successful initiative to address some social or health-related need in their school or community. Obviously the latter is less common (and I'm not saying it is at all necessary to match successfully). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
