Good morning parents and future physicians,

​

As prospective BS/MD applicants and parents often hear from others and read online, the emphasis on holistic development has never been more critical. Defining a successful applicant has become more complex, extending beyond academic excellence to include qualities like empathy, leadership, and a genuine passion for making a difference. One category within these qualities that can strengthen a high school student’s profile is involvement in tutoring and teaching roles. We will delve into the significance of these experiences and provide actionable steps on how to guide your students in integrating these meaningful activities into their BS/MD application journey.

​

Why Tutoring and Teaching Matter

The BS/MD admissions landscape is progressively shifting towards recognizing the multifaceted abilities of applicants. Beyond academics, BS/MD programs are seeking individuals who demonstrate empathy, leadership, and an authentic passion for creating impact. Engaging in tutoring and teaching roles allows students to showcase these qualities in a tangible, quantifiable way. These roles allow students to demonstrate multiple core qualities efficiently in one activity:

• Empathy and Compassion: Tutoring allows students to practice patience, understanding, and empathy—key qualities of a compassionate physician.
• Leadership and Initiative: Taking the initiative to tutor or teach exemplifies leadership and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
• Communication Skills and Critical Thinking: These roles demand clear, effective communication, a crucial skill in medical settings. Translating complex concepts to a level that others understand is a fundamental skill that reflects critical thinking competencies.

The data published by medical schools on their class stands for itself, with Feinberg School of Medicine citing that over 90% of their matriculants have ‘served as a tutor or have other teaching experience.’

​

Incorporating Tutoring into Your BS/MD Application

To maximize the impact of tutoring and teaching experiences in BS/MD applications, we advise students follow these action points:

• Start Early: Encourage your student to engage in tutoring roles early in their high school career. This allows for a longitudinal, sustained involvement that admissions committees will notice.
• Diversify Experiences: Seek opportunities both within and outside the school environment. Tutoring underprivileged children, teaching in community centers, or creating educational content online can add unique dimensions to your child’s profile. Many BS/MD interview questions specifically look for experiences with underserved populations.
• Reflect and Document: Actively reflect on these experiences and articulate the lessons learned and skills developed in application essays and interviews. Journaling is an excellent practice, and this reflection can demonstrate their growth and readiness for the challenges of a BS/MD program, making application essays easier to write down the line.
• Seek Leadership Roles: Taking on leadership positions in tutoring or educational initiatives can further underscore your child’s ability to lead and innovate. Whether it’s leading a tutoring program or organizing educational workshops, leadership roles amplify the impact of their contributions. A good starting point is to identify problems or points of improvement and propose solutions with the intent to lead these efforts.

​

Beyond the BS/MD application value, the practice of tutoring and teaching provides invaluable learning experiences that reflect essential skills and qualities in aspiring medical professionals. By encouraging your student to engage in these activities early and thoughtfully document and reflect on their experiences, you can help them build a compelling narrative for their BS/MD application.
