Hey folks, would appreciate some feedback on my list. I'm non-trad a few years out of college and not sure how to take all this together. This will be my third time applying, the first two were back to back after completing my post-bacc in 2020 and based on feedback from an advisor and my medical field peers/family, this was the fault of my glaring lack of clinical exposure up until that point. I have since been working a heavily clinical role as a device rep, assisting operations in the OR and doing patient checkups in clinic and on the hospital floor/ED. Previously I was just doing in-house R&D for a biotech company.
