Intentionality in Medical School Admissions in the COVID-19 Era	2020-09-24		.txt	text/plain	1571	100	62	And yet we wish to gently challenge a tendency towards solipsism-a propensity for self-absorption -as aspiring medical students face what Bhatt and Bhatt describe as "an increased sense of stress as carefully charted paths to medical school become so utterly disrupted." 1 That is, we want to remind applicants this season that they are not alone in having to deal with disruptions. A recent New York Times Op-Ed by Frank Bruni focuses on the ideas of Jeffrey Selingo, author of the recently published Who Gets In and Why: A Year Inside College Admissions. "The pandemic,"Bruni writes, "put many of those activities on hold, creating a pause in which [Selingo] believes some schools and some students will recognize the lunacy of this overkill." 2 Admissions committees have the opportunity to recalibrate their criteria to emphasize quality over quantity in selecting what truly matters in building the best future doctors.	./cache/cord-343227-6n5el4hz.txt	./txt/cord-343227-6n5el4hz.txt
