what do you write

What makes you DIFFERENT from the next guy?

Something you haven't said. Off the top of my head, I would write:

Art, volunteering at a summer camp, other stuff that's not med related but still very much characteristic.

 

[FlowLimited]

I like to put my artistic abilities to good use and paste in some ASCII art. 😀

Honestly though, write whatever. Why do you want to attend ____, why you're a good fit for ______, etc.

It depends on the wording, lots of times I simply leave it blank. Other times if I havent mentioned it in my other secondary essays, I'll update more recent extracurriculars. To be honest, I don't think a significant number of my secondaries in particular had that question.

Isn't there a similar thead on the front page? Was it really necessary for you to put the thread title in all caps?

Actually, a few of the letters are lowercase for some inexplicable reason.

For that area of an interview, or even for any question, I think the way you deliver your answer is more important that the answer itself. If you are an easy talker with good communication skills, just say anything because it gives you freedom to show your charisma. If you struggle to think on the spot, you can use the time to say something like "well I just wanted to thank you again for the chance to be here and for your time" of something along those lines. In either case you don't look like a blank-headed dude but also have the chance to emphasize your strength or minimize your weakness.
