i know this sounds stupid, but i was wondering how you all are approaching this secondary essay.. i know, there's the obvious mention of why osteopathic medicine fits you and all, and i know that the rest is probably ass-kissing of the school itself- however, is there a specific literary structure that i should follow? i ask this because it took me nearly 2 months of nonstop writing and deleting at the library 5-6 days as week for my personal statement and am wondering if it should take that long for my secondary as well. for my personal statement, i researched literary devices and used an "echo effect" in which i reverted back to a reference from my 1st paragraph in my closing statement (stuff like that).. will that stuff be necessary, or is this more freestyle?
