Why are you even thinking about this now? There is a 60% chance you have something much more important to worry about.Hi everyone,
Current pre-med applying to medical school and am exhausted by multiple secondary essays from most schools I am applying to. I know this doesn’t pertain to me at the moment, but for the Match, do residency programs require secondary essays just like you do when you apply to medical school? Also, assuming they don’t have secondary essays, do you have to go through a lengthy secondary response questionnaire for each program you apply to (ex: you are required to put down your community service, classes you took to fulfill certain things, biographical info, etc). It’s a bit frustrating to rehash the things you wrote on your actual application for secondaries... and don’t get me started about the essays lol. Thanks for going through my rant and I would really appreciate if someone could answer this for me!!
So if you do have to do it are you changing career paths?Hi everyone,

Fair enough, but the implication is that you are taking a very significant prerequisite for granted. Maybe the appropriate time to wonder is once you know that such an application is in your future.Was just wondering if this was on the application in the future, my apologies!
Thank you for your response! So I guess certain competitive specialities (and maybe a few programs) might have secondaries, but it’s not like the typical essays we are required to write for medical school? Of course, things could change you’re absolutely right just wanted to see how things are at the moment so I know what to expect in the future!
