I feel my secondaries are blah compared to my written work on my primary. At one point, I really didn't care and just send them in. How much weight is placed on secondaries anyway?
Can weak secondaries sink your chances for interviews?
I don't even know what a weak secondary is. If you answer the questions truthfully, and don't have grammar mistakes and stuff like that, what else can they fault you for?

I wrote about some personal things in my secondary about adversity. My family has a lot of addicts (brother, mom, grandparents etc.) and this was really hard growing up and during undergrad because I have 6 brothers and sisters who are all younger than me. I sent this in on my adversity essay, but now I'm thinking it was too personal. I kept it really professional in tone and language, but is that way too dangerous? Will med schools judge me for coming from this environment? Having some panic.
