doublet Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Got a quick question about the U of C top 10 area in the application. Would it be better, or more acceptable, to write this as a narrative as opposed to point form? I am finding that the 1000 character limit approaches quickly without allowing me to hit all the points I feel important. Also interested in what activities some use to demonstrate maturity and insight. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybenow Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Ok I'm sorry but I did not even know that the default was gonna be point form. Obviously I'm hoping better informed people will be replying to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borborygmi Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I used pseudo point form for my "description" section. I listed the general tasks involved and the number of hours (where appropriate). For the impact statement, I used succinct, no-fluff sentences that said what was needed in as few words as possible. Each sentence addressed at least one R metric. Pack it in and make it easy for your assessor--this was my approach last cycle. Although maturity and insight was not a metric in our application last cycle (it replaced "ethics/professionalism" from previous years), I think you could talk about this characteristic in a number of ways if they pertain to your experiences: - discuss sound decision making in various circumstances - discuss experiences working with diverse populations of people and how those interactions impacted you (ex: cultural competence, spiritual humility, impact of SES, many other examples). - ethical purchasing practices - knowing when to estabish boundaries with colleagues, superiors, patients, or colleagues - acknowledging personal limitations/when to decline activities or other opportunities - etc. Hopefully that's helpful.
