Undergraduate / Essay supporting an issue about which you are particularly passionate. [6]

You have some great ideas in it, but I would suggest trying to focus on just one event, just your uncle, or just focus one of your achievements. That way you can reveal something about yourself in a detailed and unique essay specific too you.

Undergraduate / Unique characteristics - ability to mentor new students and to tutor underclass-men [5]

One suggestion that I had was that rather than list your accomplishments and say that they made you a better leader, etc. you should think of an example that shows that you are a good leader, a good teammate, etc. and elaborate on that. When doing so make sure you are specific and detailed about your experience so that you reveal something about yourself.

Undergraduate / Common Application; Help with "Elaborate on one of your activities" [2]

This is what I have so far, what do you thing of it and how can i make it better?

Splint your partner across from you, then form an elbow mold for the student to your right, and finally cast the forearm of the colleague sitting diagonally from you. Splinting, molding, and casting, along with an explanation about Orthopedics and reading X-Rays all studied and observed in just one of the many eventful days at Mini-Medical School. A series of lessons intrigued and invigorated every students desire to further pursue the medical field. Knowing, the incomprehensibility of teaching years of biology, chemistry, histology and the rest, just being exposed to and shown what there was still to learn, left me fascinated and intrigued. My ever present interest in Medicine was only questioned by my lack of knowledge, "What could I really be doing in the future?" It felt as though I had finally answered that question.
