Hello SDN, I have a strange question. I have a tremendous amount of experience, however, I've realized now that some of my activity descriptions in AMCAS don't offer insight into what I gained from the experience, what I learned, how I grew, etc. (I would rewrite them if needing to re-apply next year). I was fortunate to receive an II coming up, but am worried the post-interview deliberation process will highlight this weakness in my application. Since I cannot control the interview (to a certain degree), I am worried if I don't have the ability to speak more about my experiences in-depth, the admissions committee may not understand how I've grown from those experiences, how they've contributed to my medical journey, or why they were important to me - resulting in a waitlist or rejection. I am tempted to submit an update letter pre-interview with some greater reflection about my current activities such that if I'm unable to talk about them in the interview (or it doesn't get relayed to the committee), at least the committee will have a chance to learn more about my motivations, passions, and interests. Does anybody have any thoughts about this? Thank you.
