The secondary gives you the opportunity to talk about your IA (if applicable) in 2 separate questions:
- Were you ever the recipient of any institutional action (e.g., disciplined, probation, suspended, dismissed or other action) by any college, university or medical school for unacceptable academic performance or conduct violation, even though such action may not have interrupted your enrollment or required you to withdraw? If 'Yes' please explain fully in the space below.
- Discuss any elements of your application that you feel might be concerning to the Admissions Committee. (This could include explanation of metric trends, institutional actions, legal violations, etc.). Please enter N/A if you have no concerns to report.
I had an academic IA (without going too much in depth... received warning and zero on pre-lab assignment after referring to someone else's). I wrote about this in AMCAS and responded to the first prompt above, showing genuine growth and dedication to integrity. I'm stuck on whether to expand even more on what I learned and how I grew in the second prompt above, which would most definitely read as very redundant, or just skip that prompt all together.
What are your thoughts chat?
