For schools who ask for your activities again in your secondary application... can you just copy/paste from your primary application?

Columbia's secondary application, for example, has a section labeled "Experiences." Can I just copy/paste the information from my primary application?

As long as you follow the direction on the secondary, it is fine to have the information in one mirror the other. It may be that the powers that be wish to give interviewers information about your activities without providing information about you (hometown, GPA, parents' professions, MCAT) that might bias them.
