Does the second essay need to be answered? I was hoping to just submit today lol but now I’m wondering what to add for that essay.

Edit:

My monkey brain just realized this is not an optional essay

Is it okay if my essay for the second one is just why I did a masters degree? I hate doing why us essays because it always sounds unoriginal

If that is the case, is it also okay that my essay is only 2k characters [emoji88]?

I wrote it as a "why us" because I felt I had not expressed it. But you can use it for anything else, I mean that's what it should be used for. I wrote 3000 of the 4000 characters, I think you shouldn't feel the need to fill the space. If you can express what you want in 2000, don't push the 4000 or it will sound like it.
 
Weird question, but what is the application fee for SKMC? I just paid $35 for mine, but their website says it is $80. I swear I did not check the box about the fee waiver or anything. My portal was acting really glitchy all day though so idk if something happened lol

Do u mind letting me know if 9/11 interview date is still open? I wonder how many ppl r in each interview day. If it’s open I might see u there 🙂
yeah i will lyk as soon as i get the official email! that would be fun, can grab food and talk about the process!
 
Welp, looks like this ain’t a school I’m getting an II to lol.
It’s not even August!

Across all schools:
- By September 1st, 25% of interview invitations have been sent
- By October 1st, 50% of interview invitations have been sent
- By mid November, 75% of interview invitations have been sent

I know Jefferson is quicker than others but still, you definitely have a great chance as of right now.

I’m interested because mine has said “Under Review” for almost a week now lol.
maybe they gave that person 50 applications to review & they aren't done yet.
Guys, don't obsess on the tiny details, when you have done your part, go do something else
