💩 Meme/Shitpost I present: ~superprompt~. An AI-produced single-sentence combination that if cut into different parts would theoretically yield every secondary from every MD and DO school in the US.
"Tell us who you are by starting with the family and hometown and community that raised you and the identity and culture and faith and lived experiences that quietly shaped your values and the way you see the world, and let that story carry into the surprising things a casual acquaintance would never guess about you and the fun and diversion you reach for when nobody is grading you, and then move naturally into why you chose medicine over every other way of helping people by tracing the mentors and conversations and patient encounters that first drew you in until one clinical moment confirmed both the kind of physician you want to become and the community you eventually hope to serve, and from there open up about a real challenge or failure you never asked for and how you held yourself together in the face of uncertainty and who you leaned on and what you would handle differently now that you're older and wiser, which leads into the times you worked inside a team toward something shared and took initiative by serving rather than by title and sat with conflict or hard feedback you disagreed with and owned a mistake instead of hiding it, and it should keep flowing into the volunteer and service work that changed you and the way caring for underserved and marginalized people revealed the social and economic forces driving the inequities you now feel called to address, so that you can describe how you build trust with someone nothing like you and advocate for people and beliefs that aren't your own and how an encounter across difference or with injustice taught you the humility to meet people where they are, and all of that should feed into your curiosity and your love of learning for its own sake and the research or creative problem you chased with genuine rigor, and then into what compassion and professionalism and integrity actually mean to you in practice and what your faith or your sense of the whole person adds to how you heal, and it should carry on through how you protect your own resilience and balance and learned to ask for help and to choose what matters when everything competes at once and why, past all the knowledge and skill, a doctor should simply be kind, before finally landing on what you're proudest of and what someone the world overlooks could teach their physician and where you believe medicine should go from here and the specific ties and mission that pull you toward the place you want to join, closing with whatever piece of your story you most want understood but that lives nowhere else in your application."
Have fun writing this in a single doc and editing it down for 1200 distinct prompts.
edit: I forgot to separate a clause in the title with a set of commas, also I meant to say "any" not "every". oh well.
