Dr. X

Director of Admissions

XYZ University

Dear Dr. X,

My name is Wendy Lane, and I am currently applying to the [name of university] School of Medicine. It was a privilege to discuss my goals and learn more about your DO program during my interview on [date of interview]. I am writing you this letter to express my intention to rank your program as my number-one choice and to provide you with a brief update on my application.

I am pursuing a career in osteopathic medicine because I strongly believe my life experiences and cultural background resonate with the holistic approach of osteopathic medicine. During the time I volunteered in [name of countries], I witnessed how advancement in medical diagnosis technology helped medical providers fight health care disparities in rural communities. As well, as much as I enjoyed contributing to the research effort in advancing medical diagnosis methods, I felt that research lacks the humanistic component that I want to embrace in my career. During my discussion with [name of doctor], we talked about the vision of [name of university] for graduates to practice medicine with humanity in mind. I agree wholeheartedly with the vision, and I aspire to partner with my future patients to tackle their illnesses and to bear the burden of the struggle together.

I am a strong believer in collaboration and have been very lucky to meet many mentors and colleagues who nurtured my growth and helped my career development throughout my upbringing. During my years at [name of institution], I enjoyed working together with my colleagues for the common goal of making the world a better place. In fact, I am truly thankful for all the tips I got from [name of university] staff and students during my campus visit for the [name of conference] and throughout the application cycle. I could not help but notice how genuinely staff, faculty, and students support each other in the effort to train competent graduates to serve the community. This type of collaborative environment is where I see myself thriving with my peers in the next few years of my career in medicine. One day, when I become more experienced as a practicing physician, I aspire to mentor younger medical students to pay it forward.

In conclusion, I would like to provide a brief update on my application materials. Back in [month, year], I was invited to give a presentation on [name of research] to an audience of approximately 100 people at the annual conference of [name of conference].

Thank you so much for your consideration. I would be honored to become a member of your campus community. If granted the opportunity, I will most certainly accept the offer. I hope to see you and the rest of [name of university] community soon.

Sincerely,

Wendy Lane
