so confused by the Core Competencies section. do we write out the courses relevant to the subject (like every bio course taken, listen in the box) OR do we explain our competencies in the section (like my bio education) OR both? i wouldn't even have space for both

also confused. and ive taken a hell of a lot of bio courses and humanities why do i need to list ALL. and do they want course codes or course title/description bc thats even longer. dont they have our transcript??

someone responded to this question in the general community forum and said they're just putting courses.

I'm listing the courses i took and research labs i was in (like their example). hopefully they don't expect explanations bc im not giving any

are yall including hs college credits and AP courses in your lists for the core competencies

no only college courses

how do you know? does it say that somewhere and i just missed it

it says if they require anything else from they will reach out so I just took that as I will interpret it that way and if they need something else they will reach out

Any advice for answering this question? "Provide a timeline or narrative highlighting any notable aspects of your educational journey that you believe are especially relevant or significant to us better understanding who you are. Section not required but...this is an opportunity to describe any learning experience(s) that are not covered in other sections of your supplemental application or AMCAS application. For example, have you lived in another country or experienced a culture unlike your own? Worked in a field that contributed to your understanding of people unlike yourself? Do you have advanced training in art, music, or sports, etc.? (Max 300 words)" I am a computer science major.... not sure if that is relevant here. No clue what to write about if anything. Any ideas would be appreciated. Should I talk about my religious education?

literally anything thats important to your story that they havent seen yet. i talked about my non-stem minor. it can be anything as long as you have some kind of example/story and connect it to skills/what makes you a good applicant

kinda related to this, are yall filling out this prompt?

"Use this space to provide any additional information you feel will provide us with a comprehensive understanding of your strengths as a candidate for a career in medicine.  Do not include information already provided in your AMCAS application or other sections of the supplemental application."

I know some people use these types of essays for "why this school" or to elaborate on activities (like write essays), any thoughts? unsure because it also says "Most students leave this blank."
