Hey all,

So, are secondaries supposed to be the same kind of style as the AMCAS essay? Some of the secondary questions are kind of difficult to write in a compelling, provocative manner (ex. "What have you done since graduation?" If I write an essay about how "When I put on that slate grey cap and gown, I knew that I had to continue helping humanity..." I think I'll seem insincere). Is it okay to just answer the questions, or are we supposed to give flowery responses? Thank you!

I'm sorry if this has already been asked (I really did try to search the forums for an answer)
 
they don't need to be as flowery or well-worked, but they should still convey the "this is why I'm a good candidate, you should pick me" feel.
