Sample answer outline
- Name two or three things specific to this school: a curriculum feature, a clinical setting, a patient population, a program or pathway.
- Tie each one to something you have already done or plan to do, so the fit runs both ways.
- Say what you would contribute to the class and the community, not only what you would take.
- If you talked to students or visited, say what you learned and why it mattered to you.
