Med School Secondary Essay: Overcoming Adversity | BeMo Academic Consulting

Overcoming adversity is a common theme in medical school secondary essay prompts. Thinking through the obstacles in your past - whether these were challenges presented by factors beyond your control, or challenges presented by your own limitations - is very effective in demonstrating that you have developed the tools necessary to adapt, to build resilience, and to thrive in medical school. Start your essay with a brief introduction to the situation or experience, notice the word brief here. The least important part of this essay is describing what happened and all the details surrounding the experience. Make sure you don't get lost in the story because you won't have any words left to describe the important aspects which are covered in the body paragraph. This includes how you felt, how you were affected, and what you learned. Discussing how you felt is particularly important as it helps the admissions committee understand your thought process when you're faced with adversity as well as how you cope in these situations. Tie everything together with a short conclusion that summarizes how the experience changed you. Have you become a stronger person because of the obstacle you faced? Have you learned to be more compassionate? Did you gain a better understanding of a complicated issue? Everyone's experience will be different, so it's important to reflect on your individual experience to determine how you gained something positive from it. There are different prompts that can be considered as adversity prompts, and this video will help you consider your approach to such questions, while also dispelling the myth that you must appear to be "perfect" in order to succeed in your application and in medical school. 00:00 - Intro 01:17 - The Purpose of Secondary Essays 01:59 - Example Prompt 03:22 - How not to respond to this example prompt 06:17 - How to respond to this example prompt 10:27 - Closing If you'd like our help with your secondary essays, follow this link to learn about our programs and schedule your FREE initial consultation: https://bemoacademicconsulting.com/me...
