Sorry, SMW, i haven't done it, i never even seen it; just wanted to ask when did you get it and mode of transmission (email, mail)? I am an August MCATer, too.
I know why many people here thought you were a guy: because the letter "W" sounds sort of "manly": If you change your initials to, say, SMA, it does not have the same effect.
I haven't received it either. It's upsetting because I like NC a lot and am afraid that this lull will hurt my chances in the long run. I wish they would speed things up a bit.
I've done it... I wrote about 250-300 words on each one (forget the questions now). I wasn't going to fill it out, but I figured they screen so it's probably worthwhile to fill it out.
lady in red: I got it on 11/19 via e-mail. The questions are: 1)which of your service activities had the most impact on someone else 2)which had the most impact on you 3)optional personal comments. Someone said once, when my gender was mistaken before, that SMW was so much like SWM of "personals" fame that that probably accounted for it. Sounds reasonable to me. 😀
SwampMan, I'm sure you'll be getting it any day. Are you an August MCATer too?
SMW-Sorry, I didn't post a reply sooner. I tried to log in this morning, but the server must have been pretty jammed. For the first two questions I wrote about 2-3 sentences. For the third question, on other schools' secondary-seems to be a popular question, I generally left blank b/c I had nothing to say. However, when I got the WFU secondary I actually did have some new info. so I wrote 2-3 sentences about that. Hope that helps!
