What achievement are you most proud of on your path to medical school?

"The achievement I am most proud of was graduating valedictorian of my high school class. Knowing that my future would be in medicine, I entered my Freshman year with this goal and worked hard over the next four years to maintain a perfect 4.0 GPA. What made this achievement so proud for me was earning a full scholarship to my undergraduate program."

Perhaps you have maintained an exceptional GPA or excelled in school while working a part-time job. Maybe you finished at the top of your class and received a special award for your achievements. No matter what you decide to discuss as your proudest achievement, it will be critical that you discuss how your hard work and determination came together to make it happen.
