For Non-traditional applications 5+ years out of school, do adcoms want to know what you did every year? Do they want a very detailed breakdown of what you did before you apply to medical school, or can you be more vague?
Let's say you were not ready to commit to medical school until 5 years out of undergrad and then at 5 years out of undergrad started working in the hospital, doing research, etc. full time. Do they require you to talk about in detail what you did the 5 years in between in interviews, on the application, secondaries, etc.? I am just wondering because if they were not anywhere near medical school related jobs that you did during the 5 years, I would think it would be better not to talk or go into detail about them.
