anyone else notice how those descriptions were 3x as long this year?

i felt like i wrote 15 mini-essays for that section of the app. and it seemed like a lot of the things that i put in my secondaries last year are now covered in my primary, in those expanded descriptions.

do you think some schools will change (shorten?!) their secondaries as a result?

i guess we'll find out soon enough. just wondering what y'all thought of it...

I don't think any schools will shorten secondaries, because after looking at secondaries, I've concluded that schools don't read the AMCAS application or they wouldn't ask for the same info on the secondary.
