Ohio State essay question exactly same as primary?

AMCAS asks why you want to go to medical school. Ohio State asks "describe your motivation for a career in medicine and experiences you have had that helped confirm this desire."

Is it okay to talk about the same things? I really addressed all those things in the primary already...

Copy/Paste definitely bad, but if I just rewrote it in different terms would that be okay (same subject matter though). The Ohio State limit is 300 less than the AMCAS essay anyway.

I'm sure I will run into alot more secondary questions that ask questions really similar to primary essay anyway...any general guidelines on this?

Thanks friends 🙂

Since you have a character limit on your PS, maybe you can elaborate more on some of the points you made on the AMCAS, focusing on the things that most significantly influenced your decision to studying medicine. Maybe you can make them relevant to you choosing OSU. Also you can add something that you may not have thought about adding when you submitted your AMCAS!
