<p>For example, if you are really devoted to some hobby, that’s not in the research/medical area, are medical schools still willing to accept you?</p>
<p>I think they really like research, so if this ‘hobby’ replaces research, it probably won’t bode well (unless it’s something extremely absolutely amazing.)</p>
<p>I agree… I think medical schools view research as a crucial part of learning. However, your main activity doesn’t have to be research. I know a guy at Stanford medical school who has been really devoted to doing Ironman competitions. Another guy is a champion snowboarder. I think passion and devotion to something is most important.</p>
<p>Is this related to anything?</p>
