The Work & Activities Writing Guide That Gets You In — Even If You Don’t Have Connections

You’re volunteering. Shadowing. Researching.

You’ve got clinical hours and leadership roles.

So why aren’t the interviews rolling in?

👉 Because it's not about what you’ve done—it’s about how you frame what you’ve done.

Most students waste their Work & Activities section trying to sound impressive.

But admissions committees aren’t looking for robots who “assisted with procedures” and “completed 200 hours.”

They're looking for real people. With stories. With soul. With impact.

❌ What’s Not Working (And Why You’re Getting Overlooked)

You’re:

• Repeating the same “passionate about medicine” clichés 😵‍💫
• Listing duties instead of telling stories 📋
• Downplaying your jobs because they’re not “prestigious” 💼
• Sounding like every other premed on the planet 🧍🧍🧍🧍🧍

And guess what? Adcoms can tell.

💡 What You Actually Need

✅ A guide that shows you how to sound powerful and unforgettable—no matter your job title or background.

✅ Step-by-step help to write compelling entries that make your story stick.

✅ Real talk—not fluff. No “just be passionate.” No generic templates. Just what works.

🚀 Inside the Guide, You’ll Learn How To:

🔹 Choose which experiences to include (even if they seem “ordinary”)

🔹 Turn cashier, caregiver, and commuter experiences into doctor-worthy stories

And yes, there’s a BONUS section with the 6-ingredient secret sauce to writing unforgettable extracurriculars!!!

• You didn’t go to a top-tier undergrad or get paid research gigs
• You worked while studying, took care of family, or transferred from community college
• You’ve got powerful life experiences—but don’t know how to write about them
• You’ve ever felt like you “don’t belong” in this process
