Dr. Waggel explains the rare talent of being able to say no to additional résumé boosters. She calls this “priority maturity.” When a person takes on too many tasks in order to boost their résumé they can do so at the expense of others. Being able to turn down additional opportunities in order to fully focus on the current ones demonstrates a level of maturity that Dr. Waggel respects. Too, often premed students overload their schedules and exhaust themselves, which is not good for anyone. This is applicable to anyone who erroneously thinks overloading is something to be admired.
