How to Talk About Your Life and Experiences as a Nontrad | Ask Dr. Gray: Premed Q&A Ep. 118

How should you talk about your life and experiences as a nontrad? Be honest. Today, I talk about how to “stand out” as a nontrad by simply being true to yourself. If you enjoy this video, be sure to subscribe and check out all our Meded Media podcasts at http://premedpodcasts.com! Our student's question is about how to "stand out" as a nontraditional premed. In regards to this question, I discuss: • How to stop comparing yourself to other premeds and just tell your story. • How this question applies to the personal statement and your activities. • What to really focus on in your application. We also discuss some other nontraditional premed questions: • How can you support a family on student loans as a medical student. Will you have enough money for suitable living quarters? • Should you hide the fact that you have kids when applying to medical school? Or should you show it off? Or neither? • Should you only apply to one medical school because of having a mortgage in a particular area? For more episodes of Ask Dr. Gray: Premed Q&A, check out http://askdrgray.com!
