Your goals and your pre-medical/research background will help you stand out but the schools will really be checking you out for leadership. You need to show it to them wherever you can, if not at work then outside of work.

Good luck,

Re: desperately need some honest opinion - Profile Evaluation [#permalink]
Hi Paul, thanks so much for your input. I've been wondering about something...what is the definition of "leadership" here? Is it if I have experience leading and managing people? Or is it some sort of leadership to lead a project? Or the combination of both? Or neither?

Thanks!

bakfed,

The "best" kind of leadership is coordinating, directing, managing others whether formally or informally. Other kinds of leadership, which will do in a pinch if you don't have the "best" kind, are things like taking initiative, consensus-building, innovation etc.

Hope this helps,
