b*****8 发帖数: 59 | 1 Do I need to mention in my PS that I took care of my child at home during
the gap?
Thanks |
e*****a 发帖数: 1334 | 2 Depends on how big a "gap". If not too big, some people choose not to
mention it in PS, but prepare for an explanation during interview. |
b*****8 发帖数: 59 | 3 Is 4-year a big gap?
Is "take care of child" a good explanation?
Thank you! |
e*****a 发帖数: 1334 | 4 It's big. You may mention it in PS and people will understand the situation
("take care of child" is a good explanation).

time with your children and your family. They might give your credit for
that. |

f*****w 发帖数: 1451 | 16 Same here. I quit the job and stayed at home taking care my kids for 6
years. But I did some part time work at home.
It's very minimum part time, about 1 day a week. I am going to say that I
worked part time at home while taking care of my kids at the same time. Does
it sound resonable? What should I say if program directors ask why I didn't
study for USMLE earlier? |
