I received the northwestern secondary in the mail. I went to the site and entered in my AMCAS ID and last name and when I logged in I clicked the link to download the secondary application. But then I would get kicked out, saying that my login had expired. Has anyone else run into this problem? I'll be calling them tomorrow, but in the meantime, can someone tell me what the essay questions are and the lengths? I've only till the 26th, so I'm already behind with this blasted problem. Thanks.
 
1. We want to know more about how you came to the decision to pursue a career in medicine. If you believe your AMCAS application?s ?Personal Comments? essay answers this question, tell us anything more you?d like the Committee on Admissions to know about you and your career aspirations. (The boxed space can contain approximately 400 words.)

2. Why do you want to attend Northwestern University?s Feinberg School of Medicine? In your answer to this question, include a direct response to the following points: 1) Describe what you have learned about our collaborative curriculum (especially the PBL and PPS segments) and why it influenced you to apply. Also comment on what you feel you can contribute to these sessions. 2) In what ways does FSM?s ?organ-based? approach suit your learning style? How will this approach help you learn what you need to know to be a successful physician? 3) Comment on any other specific factors that prompted you to apply to Feinberg.
(The boxed space can contain approximately 400 words.)


3. Please select a), b), or c) to answer:
a) If you have not been enrolled as a full-time student in a formal education program for more than six months at any time, please list the dates below and describe what you did (or, have been doing) during your time away from formal education.
b) If you have been enrolled in formal education and have spent a semester or more overseas, please describe what you did and its influence on your personal development.
c) If you have been enrolled in formal education but option b) does not apply to you, please describe in detail an out-of-the-classroom activity that has influenced your personal development.

(The boxed space can contain approximately 300 words.)
