Med/Vet/Law/Dental Applicants are like Girl Scouts

Allow me to explain.
Med school applicants canvass the entire country, trying to strategize and decide which medical schools apply to. Girl Scouts probably use iPhones for all I care to divy up the neighborhood.
Med school applicants filling out secondaries for each school is like girl scouts trying to visit each house in a neighborhood.
Each school has its own personality, just like each owner of each house.
When a girl scout knocks on a door, it’s like you submitting your secondary to the school. The owner of the house peeping through the peephole is like the admissions committee taking a look at your credentials.
If the committee likes what they see, they grant an interview. If the resident of a house or dwelling is curious about what a little girl is doing at their doorstep, they’ll open the door. Otherwise, they won’t open the door/the committee will simply wait, and wait, and wait. The girl scout keeps ringing, just like the med school applicant keeps on furiously sending updates to the schools.
When/if the owner/committee opens the door, the girl scout must convince the owner to buy the cookies. Of course, this is analogous to the med school applicant’s interview.
Ultimately, if you manage to convince the committee, you get an acceptance; likewise, the Girl Scout gets the person to pay for delectable cookies.
The End.
