My essays are 497/750 and 225/750... do you guys think thats kind of asking them not to accept me? I definitely answered the question, but Im usually right at the word limit. Is anyone else having a problem with meeting the word limit?
You will be fine as long as you get your point across.
How did you answer the question regarding what specialty or area of medicine you are interested in? I have my answer, but I don't really know if all that is required is just one sentence that says what you want to do, or a whole essay talking about it.
They give you 500 words to work with, but the question does not ask you to go in to detail as to why you want to do whatever it is.
I was accepted with just one sentence really early in the cycle. One sentence will suffice.
I suspect the school cares more about GPA/MCAT and your interview performance rather than the length of your secondary essays at this point in the cycle. It honestly depends on a lot of factors. Your secondary essays, if written well, will not affect your application.
