Dr. Brule Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hi guise - Wondering: For my supplemental, is it OK to mention the same experience twice in different sections such as in both employment and medically related activities? I worked as a camp counselor for children with special needs, and although most of the job was planning activities and such, there was also a large component focused on communicating camper health with their nurses. We also had a first aid course prior to beginning work. I would emphasize different aspects of the experience according to whatever section I'm filling out.

I've been wondering about this too...people on here would lead me to believe that you should only list something once. However, when I spoke with Carolyn in the Admissions office, she seemed to suggest that you could double-list things in different categories. Thoughts anybody?

Dr. Brule Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Oh well if Carolyn suggested that then I would think it's okay. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just what I heard, she also said they like balance in the applications...if anyone has more commentary on this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Personally I didn't list the same experience twice in different categories, but it sounds like if you took a first aid course for work, you could list that as a separate entry under "medical experience". Though I would do that only if you're lacking in that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
