Hey,

I was wondering do most med schools use the same secondary app as last year from 2010-2011?

Because I don't want to start writing essays and waste time to find out that the essay questions are different...

Everyone has told me to start doing the secondary essays over the summer, but I don't know where the questions are???

Some do use the same secondaries while some don't. I pre-wrote about 70% of my secondaries, and luckily didn't pre-write any secondaries that had changed. Typically, the "why would you attend school X?" and "what will you bring to our school?" don't get tweaked. If I saw any school that used a unique prompt (e.g."define altruism") I waited to get the actual secondary before writing. I saw unique as not being able to re-use any aspect of the secondary for a different school. You'll learn you recycle a lot of structural aspects of your essays then tweak any details.

Find the schools on the school-specific discussions:

Some secondaries are posted on the first page while others you'll need to search.
