Hi y'all! I have a question. I submitted my secondary yesterday evening. I checked it 3 times before submission. I looked back at it again and I found a mistake in it. I referenced the wrong clinic name in one of the prompts. Do y'all think this is something that I could disqualify my entire application or is this something insignificant? I only refenced it once throughout the secondary so its not reoccurring, but I just don't want admissions to get confused with my primary & secondary because of this one error.

I doubt they will notice.
This message itself had several typos in it though, so do a better job with proofreading your future secondaries.

+1 OOS means that person also received a secondary, and is out-of-state for the school

You’re fine. I’m sure I have several accidental inconsistencies throughout all my secondaries and my primary. If a school reads every application and cross references every minor error, they wouldn’t be able to get through half of their apps in a cycle.

Quick question: it says at the top of the "required questions" to not reveal grades or MCAT in any of the secondary questions, but then in the optional questions, it asks to explain any "C's" in any classes...Should I explain or not? It seems a bit contradicting.

I might be miss remembering since I finished this secondary weeks ago, but isn’t that question on a different page?

Looking for help on answering numbers 1 and 5. My answer to number 1 refers back to my past experiences extensively to paint my future goals and how they will improve health for all. Question 5 then asks what my future goals are while referring back to how my past experiences have shaped them.

How do I answer these questions differently? Every time I try answering number 5, I realize I am just repeating points that I used in my question 1 answer. On the flipside, how am I supposed to answer question 1 without rehashing the experiences that shaped my future goals?
