What are your general comments?

"It may sound cliche, but just be yourself! Really hone in on the qualities you want the admission committee to know about and traits that you possess that they would want to see in their M1 class. However, don't give them empty words, attach these traits/qualities to anecdotes so that they have meaning. Anyone can say they are compassionate but telling someone a story of a time you showed or saw compassion is much more powerful. Good luck! =D" Report Response
