Ah yes, this was my favorite: "The journey to a career in medicine requires special motivation and a high level of commitment. Describe your personal and academic preparation for a career as a physician and reflect upon it from the perspective of an observer. Include any changes in your career path, change of major, time gaps in your education, period of grades below a 3.0 level, serious events/crises in your life that affected your path, either positively or negatively. (1000 characters max)"
Or, "Tell all of that in about a paragraph". The secondary is beastly in nature because it tends to be all about providing tons and tons of information in as few words as physically possible.
