Anybody want to do my UCSF secondary?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I hear you. What a pain! I downloaded Adobe trial version so I could fill it out on electronically and that helped a bit. Good luck!

There's an electronic version?
 
Electronic as in you download a PDF to your own computer. The file is not a "fillable form" though, so you can't edit it with Adobe Reader, you need Adobe which costs $$$$. It is not an "online" form. Sorry for the misunderstanding, didn't mean to get you excited🙂
 
All you need to do is use Word and mimic the format. Thats what I did and it was spot on.
 
Thanks In Her Drawer,

Just write heart-wrenching responses on how I've been disadvantaged and overcome huge obstacles.

And tell them I'm nice and I like teeth. That should cover it.

I'll pay you in gummi bears. What color do you like?

Red and orange. Sometimes the green ones are OK, too. 🙂
 
Use foxit reader. It's a free pdf reader and you can type on the form with it. But, do it in one sitting because if you save it it will put a watermark on your document.
 
I just sent in my secondary today. Goodness, I hope I get in... that secondary took me forever to do.

UCSF = super great school.
 
red gummi bears suck... the best ones are yellow and green. The clear ones are pretty bad too. 🙁

We can eat them together; I'll take red and you can have yellow. Green we will share, orange are mine, and clear go in the trash.

That's probably a super great idea. :-D We can give the clear ones the mean pre-dents. hehehe. Did you apply to UCSF?
 
UCLA supp was 12 pages I believe...are they trying to look a little more decent than UCSF???

Actually, I think the UCLA one was also 13 pages (including all pages).
 
I'll keep the clear ones, I actually like them. We'll all get along fine.

Looking at the questions, I feel like they won't want me if I haven't been disadvantaged in some way. Is it okay to say, "no, I haven't overcome any hardships?" I don't want to make mountains out of molehills just to have a "yes" answer...

Even though UCLA's was much longer, it was much easier to complete! Only a few "essays" in comparison to UCSF's 10 😱 I have 8 down...2 to go!


Was everyone able to keep their responses to 3 pages typed?

why is that a dumb question? no question is dumb. I single spaced... although i should've double spaced. easier on the eyes.
 
I'm the OP and I never did end up finishing that secondary :laugh:

Good luck to the rest of you!
