Drakoulias Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I hope everyone is almost done and ready to submit! One thing that I was wondering was what you picked for the three things for the CV highlights? I'm debating whether or not to include my clinical volunteer experience here, since I already discussed it in the essay. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedPen Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Without intending to sound mean or anything, I think CV highlights are a very personal thing that some people may not want to share. In addition, it is up to you to pick what you think is the best thing: what someone may consider a CV highlight, you might not and that's not because the thing the person highlighted isn't valuable but because it meant something different to them. Just trust your instincts and I think it will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capucine Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Put what you think is best without considering what you wrote in your personal narrative because two different persons could read your CV and personal narrative. Someone asked your question at an info session and that was the answer, if I remember well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the question that I was trying to ask here (as much as I was also hoping to get a discussion going about the CV highlights in general).

future_doc Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yes, it is a very personal matter and what one person selects will not be helpful to any other applicant. Good luck to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new user name Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 How far back in your history did everyone go? As in, did you include high school activities and awards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
