While I may not have the data to prove this [most medical schools don’t keep track of the number of nontraditional students admitted] and my evidence is purely anecdotal, I believe the face of the typical medical school applicant may be changing.…

In the evaluation there were a few rhetorical devices that were used. Here are a few that were utilized. First is Diction which was skillfully used in this chapter.
