how to address IA (AGAIN) in the secondary

[Sn00pygrrl]

A few of my secondaries ask about IA. Can I just copy-paste what I wrote on the primary application? It's not like I have a higher word count to describe in more detail what happened, so I don't know what else to do. I'm not sure how to "wordsmith" my explanation more than I have. Is copy-paste poor form?

Depending on the wording of the question, but overall I would say copy/paste is poor form and might not look the best. The schools are aware the question is asked in AMCAS and choose to ask again, perhaps this is for different reviewers to be aware but probably best to err on the side of caution. No need to reinvent the wheel but maybe just reworking the explanation a bit, taking responsibility, and expressing what you've learned from it.

I just described a bit differently

Thank you both, I took your advice and reworded the description of what happened.
