hi, I found that the Arizona secondary questions are kindof like the ones in AADSAS. i feel like i'm repeating myself. In fact, they required a 500 words essay about what you've learned in working in dental clinics, but I have already included that in my personal statement and in AADSAS extrac activities section. so should i just repeat that again? .....

Does anyone have suggestions of how i should apporach that?

I just answered the questions the best I could, even if it repeated some things in my personal statement. It's not a bad idea to repeat things, just don't copy and paste. Try to add a little extra insight or take on the experience that hasn't been conveyed yet. Keep in mind that schools will sometimes have one person look over the AADSAS and another look over the secondary to get two views of the application. Don't assume that if they are reading your secondary that they have also read your personal statement.

I agree with NewMexDent's suggestions, I also think that it is important to provide further elucidation on experiences that due to space constraints in the AADSAS application maybe less then representative of what these experiences have meant to your preparations. On a side note all of the schools that have received interviews from have been those for which I had to complete secondary essays.
