I have absolutely no idea what to write when the secondary asks "Why do you want to attend ____ School of Medicine (fill in the name). I've went to the website of some of these schools but they all seem the same. Any help would be appreciated.

I've done pretty much the same for each one. I mention the school's reputation, the curriculum, residency choices based on location, then some general comments on the area from a wikipedia article about the city. If any of the information strikes my fancy, I mention it. The result is a fairly generic butt-kissing of the school.
I was wondering if you could clarify what you mean by those 2. I thought the curriculum was the same? And I didn't really know what you meant by the residency thing.
Thanks for taking the time to answer the question though, I will try to apply some of those techniques.
there are differences in curriculums, for example, Yale has the "Yale System" where you don't get graded or have class ranking at all for the first two years, and you take exams only for self evaluation. Also, if a school and hospital serves a specific population, you can mention that. Furthermore, some schools require original research and thesis, so if you are interested in any field of research, you can mention that as well. Hope this helps.
