<p>I’m going to keep this short and sweet, since I don’t have much time. Would being a co-author (1 out of 2 co-authors) of a successful medical book (already have a publisher, and few universities pledging to buy the books), mainly written by a experienced and highly looked upon doctor be thought of as a nice extracurricular? Would it be something that stands out? Under what category would it fall under (research, community service etc.)?</p>
<p>I’m currently in my sophomore year of high school, if that counts for anything. </p>
<p>Thank you in advance for anyone who helps me out here. :)</p>
<p>Yes definitely! I don’t think it would fall under community service though. “Academic” would probably be the category it would fall under on the Common App. Do you plan on becoming a doctor?</p>
<p>Yeah, I was just using research and community service as examples. I’m still figuring out what career path I’m going to take, however It will definitely be associated with Math/Science. If I was not planning to become a doctor, would helping to write the book have no impact on my admission? (If I was to become an engineer/physics etc.)</p>
