               Medical School Essay 1How will your life experience thus far add a unique dimension to 
              our entering medical school class? What will a medical degree mean 
              to you or you family? "Lastly, I would like to acknowledge the assistance of my 
                colleagues and our industrial partners at Siemens and Radionics 
                who were instrumental in the completion of this research project, 
                " I said concluding my presentation at the annual fall meeting 
                of the Biomedical Engineering Society last month in October. Although 
                I felt nervous before my first oral presentation at a professional 
                conference, afterwards I felt an overwhelming sense of joy and 
                accomplishment. All the hard work and late nights in the lab had 
                finally paid off. 
                
    
               In my research, I am involved with the interventional MRI project 
                at [major hospital] where MR images are used to guide and monitor 
                minimally invasive therapies such as localized biopsy and thermal 
                ablation of cancerous tumors. My research topic is on the spatial 
                calibration procedure and the interactive scan plane localization 
                for device tracking in a low-field open MR imager. In the course 
                of my research, I developed a unique and accurate method of defining 
                spatial coordinates inside the imaging volume of the open MR imager, 
                which led to the publication and presentation of two separate 
                abstracts at two different professional conferences in Sydney, 
                Australia and Cleveland, Ohio. 
               My strong scientific research background and my clear understanding 
                of the basic concepts of scientific inquiry and method will help 
                me become a good physician. Having learned the technical aspects 
                of biomedical science for the last six years, I am anxious to 
                start learning about the clinical aspects of biomedical science. 
                To me, a medical degree does not merely mean that I have survived 
                four rigorous years of medical school and have something tangible 
                to show my family. To me a medical degree has much more significance. 
                A medical degree means that I can make a daily contribution to 
                society by utilizing my education to help others in need. 
               Perhaps even more important to my academic accomplishments are 
                my experiences outside the classroom. Being a minority student, 
                I understand the importance of diversity. As an active member 
                of the Asian-American Student Association at [major university], 
                I helped to promote ethnic diversity and cultural awareness on 
                campus. Our Chinese Cultural Committee sponsored the Chinese New 
                Year event on campus to promote cultural awareness at the school’ 
                s international fair. Our group featured not only traditional 
                Chinese food but also a Chinese fashion show and a demonstration 
                of Chinese kung fu. Furthermore, our association organized several 
                volunteering trips to serve food to the homeless at a local soup 
                kitchen in Nashville. 
               In graduate school at [major university], I continued with my involvement in 
                diversity-related issues by serving as a student representative 
                on the Faculty Senate Minority Affairs Committee as a part of 
                my duty as a senator in the Graduate Student Senate. I was involved 
                in organizing a special event on "Strategies for Success 
                in Graduate School" for minority students. The keynote speaker 
                of the event was Dr. Howard Adams, founder and director of the 
                National Institute on Mentoring and a recipient of the Presidential 
                Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering 
                Mentoring. I also engaged in a discussion of diversity content 
                in the curriculum of Arts and Sciences and helped with the planning 
                of a student-faculty roundtable discussion of how diverse students 
                learn. Moreover, our committee cosponsored a special dialogue 
                on race as part of the President's Initiative on Race entitled 
                "[major university] Talks About Race." 
               If given the opportunity, I will bring my experience and enthusiasm in promoting 
                diversity to the Rush community. Moreover, I sincerely believe 
                my work ethic and considerable research experience will help make 
                me an outstanding medical student and will enable me to contribute 
                to the educational experience of other students at Rush Medical 
                School.   Medical School Essay 2 As a potential medical student, I will strive to be a tremendous 
                asset to The Chicago Medical School by devoting all my time and 
                life to becoming an excellent physician. I believe that I am obligated 
                to use my talents in a constructive manner, in a manner that benefits 
                society. The medical career gives me the unique opportunity to 
                express my many talents while benefiting human life. B. Berston M.D. once said: “ ... a funny thing happens 
                to medical students on their way to becoming physicians: they 
                forget how to hold a conversation.” I believe that my ability 
                to communicate makes me well suited to pursue a medical career. 
                While I possess the strong science background necessary for success 
                in the profession, I also consider myself a “ people” 
                person. As a waiter and bartender, I dramatically improved and 
                expanded my communication skills since I was constantly meeting 
                new people and discussing different topics. Because people constantly 
                disclosed their personal issues to me as a bartender, I learned 
                to become not only a good conversationalist, but also an excellent 
                listener. In medical school, I also plan to pursue side work educating 
                students and serving as a resource to the public. One of my most 
                rewarding experiences has been tutoring high school students in 
                math, physics, and biology, and helping people in my choir learn 
                Byzantine music. Always able to develop a good rapport with students, 
                I believe I possess a talent for teaching others in a friendly 
                manner and in a manner that helps them to grasp difficult concepts 
                easily. As part of my medical career, I will aim to continue teaching 
                and to provide information to the public on the prevention and 
                treatment of ailments and diseases. Undoubtedly my cultural diversity will be a great contribution 
                to The Chicago Medical School. Being raised in a Greek family 
                in Canada, visiting different countries, and now living in the 
                United States, I have experienced the similarities and differences 
                among many diverse cultural groups and geographical areas. This 
                allowed me to relate to different types of people by understanding 
                their ways and beliefs, a quality that will help me work well 
                with other medical students and help me serve my patients better 
                in the future.  
                  Highly motivated to succeed, I dramatically improved my grades 
                following a time of confusion and immaturity in 1990 and 1991,which 
                was brought on by family illness and turmoil. Once I realized 
                what goal I wanted to pursue in life, I worked hard to succeed, 
                and my remaining five years of schooling are truly indicative 
                of my intellectual capacity and motivation for success. My strength 
                as a candidate to The Chicago Medical School lies mostly in the 
                objectives that I plan to fulfill upon becoming a physician. They 
                are, in no particular order of importance, as follows: 1) To provide excellence in comprehensive care by using my acquired 
                skills as both a competent professional and also as a compassionate 
                human being.2) To cultivate my leadership role both in the community of my 
                practice and in the nation to formulate and maintain health care 
                principles and advancements.
 3) To employ the latest knowledge and techniques in detection 
                and prevention of disease, and the restoration of health.
 4) To develop and employ methods to take care of an aging population.
 5) To show reverence for human beings by giving excellent care 
                to all
 6) To forever expand my knowledge through experience, continuing 
                education courses, and research.
 I have been diligent in my pursuit of medicine as a career because 
                I am convinced that medicine offers me the opportunity to live 
                a fulfilling, rewarding life dedicated to helping others. I will 
                enter medicine eager to learn and thirsting for the knowledge 
                to help my fellow human beings. Attending The Chicago Medical 
                School would be one of the greatest rewards for my motivation 
                and persistence for success. I swear to uphold and exceed all 
                that is expected of a future physician while promoting the progress 
                of medicine and humanity.
