Who is done with their secondaries? I am procrastinating, llike I've never done before with these secondaries.

I thought the AACOMAS personal statement was bad, but this is like bombardment of 5 statements. At least some are overlapping.

What's one to write when asked, why our school? I mean, you can't really say " because in case my top choice doesn't accept me, I'd be willing to pay you the $160,000 and graduate from your program"... is this asking for me to B.S. and say how much I love their school?

What are you supposed to write though? I feel YOUR program fits me best because?????? Gawd bless COMP for their pre-secondary interviews, although it's my top choice, I still don't know what to write. 😕 😕 Let alone the other schools!!!

I know exactly how you feel, I've got 9 secondaries to write and it's been 12 days since I got the first one of that batch! Man, no clue what to write even though I thought I was doing well, now I'm not sure. Best of luck to all of us!
 
Just my opinion, but find at least one factor about every school that you find appealing, mention it in your essays, and mean it. Adcoms know BS when they see it. Be honest, and you'll do fine.
 
Man I don't understand what you guys are talking about, once you have filled out one, the rest are easy. I got a supplemental production line, one comes in, I just ad there name where the X is and send it out. Do your homework and find the ones that are already online, like KCOM, TUCOM, COMP, etc and fill them out, they are basically all the same. 👍
