thegamez Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hi! I am working on my med application and I was thinking of putting my 2 months of driving school course\attendance under formal education. Is that ok, or is it too cheesy?also, is it worth adding high school diploma under formal education? How about a training course I took on how to handle animals and animal care rights in research? Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am working on my med application and I was thinking of putting my 2 months of driving school course\attendance under formal education. Is that ok, or is it too cheesy? also, is it worth adding high school diploma under formal education? Thanks guys I would not include either one...All applicants should have a high school diploma or the equivalent, and most applicants will have attended driving school. They would probably laugh at you if you wrote it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatonekid Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I wouldn't add driving school; it kinda seems lame. I did add high school though, since it says to add everything since the age of 16 and I had extra spaces. I also had to get animal handling/ethics training for my research lab and I included that under formal education. I had the space so I figured I would. It's not like the adcoms are going to look at it and judge me on that one inclusion (although, you never know!) If they don't care, they'll (most likely) just ignore it.

Cnussey Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 They don't care if you can drive. And don't include high school since you have to fill in another section for that anyways. Animal care is cool--do that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 How about a training course I took on how to handle animals and animal care rights in research? That is something to possibly add - it tell them something about you that is a little different than other applications in my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW...doesn't everyone have to get animal handling and ethics? In that case, everyone also needs to have WHIMS training before working in a lab. Is everyone really trying to fill up all 48 spots?

No. I filled up whatever I needed to and got about 22 (I think...perhaps a few more). Don't try to just fill the 48 slots...it'll be noticeable.

But seriously, I obviously don't know about your university, but at mine very few students have the animal training required to work in the neuroscience labs. Since it was something different, I included it in my sketch; not because I was trying to get to 48, I simply had the space available. I guess it's a matter of personal opinion.
