How to get into University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine - Business Insider

Soto Albrecht said that, as a mentor for three young Latina women at Perelman, her first piece of advice for the school's secondary personal essay — the specific question asked by Perelman on top of the general application that goes out to multiple schools — was that they needed to have a compelling personal story that can be told in the 1,000-word character limit.

"I was able to talk about an experience that I did not talk about in any of my other applications. My parents were Mennonite missionaries, and we lived in Columbia, South America, when I was young. They were only paid about $12,000 a year, so when they got back to the US we struggled. My uncle worked at a Salvation Army-type of institution, and they actually dropped off extra things that they had from donations to our family because for a couple of months we had no income," she said.

He added that it shows when a student has simply volunteered at a health fair "every other Saturday," which can be an easy way to build your resume. He believes that long-term volunteering shows dedication and commitment to a purpose or an organization a student is genuinely passionate about. "I was working in a charity clinic with a lot of undocumented or under-insured people and learned the hardships that these people face. Learning to support people in those situations emotionally was a theme I was able to carry through my application," he said.Class of 2021 Perelman student Rami Fathy said that it's important to give the admissions board a picture of what you would be like at school as well as in the medical profession.

He used these activities as a springboard to talk about what he really cares about in medicine, particularly communication and combining the "hard" elements of science with a people-centered approach.
