Just received. Same as last year but they reworded the diversity secondary

Required: The Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons values a wide array of experiences and perspectives. How will you contribute to this important value of our institution, and how will it inform your future role as a physician?

Only other thing is they make you upload a CV, but hey, for all I know maybe that was on there in previous years and it just wasn't recorded on here.

Btw I dont know what the deal with the CV thing is. I dont have any real wet lab research or publications or anything for a CV and so I just uploaded my resume and got a (prolly undeserved) II lol. So who knows what adcoms even are looking for there.

I think it must be more of an opportunity to brag, but not necessary? I dont know why its not an optional upload

Are the listed MSTP interview dates on their website still accurate for this year? Asking given their silence.

Oh awesome, thanks! I knew that the Bassett program released IIs in October but didn’t realize that was true for PhD to MD too. 👍
