Written scenario · Motivation, Self-awareness
A different path
You are halfway through the prerequisite courses for a health professional program.
A professor you respect, who supervised your engineering design project, tells you that you have a real gift for engineering. She offers you a paid research position in her lab next summer, which would conflict with the clinical volunteering you had planned.
The two questions
- 1How would you make this decision?
- 2What first drew you to your chosen field, and what has kept you committed to it?
What raters look for
- Motivation
- Shows genuine, sustained drive and a clear reason for choices, including when work is unglamorous.
- Self-awareness
- Recognizes own biases, limits and emotions, and seeks and uses feedback.
