[imbesrs]

Lmfao they have a LOT of work ahead of them with 3 500 word prompts

 

[Wolvvs]

Yes they got it out! 3 500 word essays. It's the AAMC portal which likes to time out and delete responses, so definitely complete these in separate software.

Pretty sure you would want a school to think a typo was an innocent mistake, and not “concerning”, if you were the one who made it...just do the secondary

 

[enchantments]

There was a time when I could pump out 5 secondaries in a day, but that time is long gone lol

I'm really sorry if that offended you or anyone else. I typed it quickly and meant it as a joke. I realize now how it could come across very pretentious. I would be ecstatic to get an interview from this school and will be getting that secondary in lol thanks for checking me

 

[Theprofessor’sprofessor]

Secondary complete and submitted. Fingers crossed

 

[Hypnosis]

[KaioKaizen]

Feeling lazy today

Gonna pass on this one for this year just like last year. Don't think I'd get an II anyway

Hahaha jk...unless?

 

[dr_of_rock]

Yeah definitely not writing these 500 word essays lol. Best of luck everyone!

Anybody else bailing on this one? I am trying to decide.

 

[xkcd6330]

Yeah, I’m gonna skip this one. Really don’t want to go back into more essay writing.

 

[dr.batman]

You can't reuse any of them from past secondaries and then only write the why Seton Hall?

 

[Icebird]

I’m gonna pop it open and throw generic responses while I play WoW vanilla and if its too much I’ma skip lol

I feel like everyone can glue together responses using previous secondary essays from other schools

 

[Icebird]

Yep I have a OneNote document where I copy pasted each school secondaries response so I can just throw something together for future schools

 

[UnknownObi]

Anybody else bailing on this one? I am trying to decide.

I didn't fill up anywhere near 500. Maybe like 200-300 for each but still threw it in

 

[Hypnosis]

lol ironically this was probably the quickest secondary i've ever submitted because i had so much prior material from other schools

 

[justtryinghere010101]

Boy does the admission office have a lot to review come Monday lol

 

[TheDataKing]

Anybody else bailing on this one? I am trying to decide.

I'm bailing. way too lazy

 

[speedracer347]

lmao I am, 500 words x3? I'm good HAHA I've been out of the writing zone for too long >.<

 

[Icebird]

I just copy and pasted generic responses didn’t take too long.

 

[frog301]

submitted. took me ~5 minutes of copy and pasting to scrap the pieces together 🙄

 

[curious_premed]

I don't really understand the 3rd question, "Describe your experience with the field of medicine (or a related field) that has prepared you for advanced study in this area. Specifically, how have your life experiences prepared you to pursue a degree in medicine, including: coursework, clinical work, experiences in overcoming adversity, work opportunity, volunteer activities, and/or research experiences?"

How is this different from the work/activities section, most meaningful experiences, and personal statement in AMCAS? Can we repeat information?

 

[Detective SnowBucket]

my sister saw the email and she's like why's this place called hackey-sack?

 

[deleted787552]

Does anyone know the proper abbreviation for this school?

HMSOM is what I put. I remember just calling it Hackensack though

You never know until you try. This whole process is a crap shoot. This was my last secondary as well last year and I was able to stick together random parts of essays and make it work. See if you can get away with using essays from other schools
