"I feel very fortunate to be sitting her in consideration for an excellent vascular surgery fellowship program like yours. I'd have to say the one unique quality that makes me the most standout candidate you will speak with is my drive and determination. I'm a critical thinker, a problem solver, and someone who doesn't take no for an answer. These traits helped me be nominated as a chief resident with my program and helped me shine in the OR on difficult cases."
