Your answer should be very concise for each choice, then implement your choices with your essay to align with the school mission.
Thanks! I will try to keep it as short as possible

Is there a character/word limit for this section?
And do they set it up so that each selection is separate or do you summarize all selections in one area?
it is in one area. Item 12 comprises all the answers of questions a, b, c, and d. After that question they ask to explain the reason of your chosises
Not URM, but received secondary. Anyone know if they screen?

Hey guys,
I hope the application cycle is going well. I just have a question about the final page on Morehouse School of Medicine's secondary application. The section about a faculty appraisal is completely new to me. I asked a couple of my friends that are med school if they knew what that was. They all said no. Could someone please help explain as to what is expected from the faculty appraisal? Essentially, what is the faculty appraisal?
Thanks

They mean letters of rec. Option A is for a committee letter, Option B is for three individual letters, and Option C is if you're a repeat applicant and you submitted letters to them last year.
Complete and ready for review email
Ooh umm, no I don't know. I think they're expecting applicants to send either a committee letter OR three individual letters. I guess if I were in your shoes, I'd choose Option B and list out my recommenders' names. But you can always call and ask!
Submitted my secondary! Woo!

can someone explain how they submitted their picture? I am very confused...
You print it out, passport style, no larger than 2x2, then glue it on the printed out picture form (could be found on the secondary application portal) and then e-mail it to
[email protected]
I just added the image in using PDF viewer, u can add images to PDFs, atleast on a mac I could
