Sustained service with genuine self-reflection about it. Stritch's Jesuit framing — cura personalis, compassion, service, self-reflection — shapes its admissions explicitly, and applicants who evidence alignment with those values are described as holding an advantage. Meaningful clinical exposure is expected; research is valued but not required. Worth noting the school states it gives no preference to Jesuits, Catholics or any religious group, so this is about values rather than affiliation.

Watch out: Service listed without reflection on what it meant fits poorly at a school that names self-reflection as a core principle.
