whale.of.a.time Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hi everyone. I've been lurking here for a year or so now and have just been waiting for the 2008 start application cycle to get near the end before starting to babble about 2009 (which I'm applying for!). I was wondering if anyone has an older Dal med application, scanned or pdf or something like that (i.e. before they went to the online version)? Obviously not filled out! It's driving me crazy to have to wait until Sept 1 to see what the essays, etc. are. Any clues? I'd like to start working on it. Thanks so much and good luck to everyone on the wait list!

whale.of.a.time Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Just found this discussion: http://www.premed101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23182&highlight=personal+essay Also, I've been reading other ones and it seems like the essay questions are something along the lines of: 1-I: "Why do you want to study medicine" 1-II: “Explain why you have (if you have) refocused your path to medicine” 2: “Discuss your strengths and weaknesses and how they would affect your role as a physician” Can anyone confirm this for me? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewels1986 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 That's basically what I remember, too, though I think this past year question (2) was more along the lines of "Describe how your experiences have prepared you to be a good physician, emphasizing teamwork" and (3) was only about weaknesses, not strengths.
