DARTMOUTH AND TOM JEFFERSON U ASK BASICALLY, "ANY ADDITION COMMENTS?" What do you usually put down. For Dartmouth, I researched the website like crazy and put down what I like about the school. For TJU, there is really nothing exceptional there; very tradtional curriculum, decent hospital, etc.To be quite frank, its a fallback.

When I put something on the secondary, I want to mean what I'm saying instead of BSing. What alternate things do people generally include about themselves in the open ended questions that medical schools generally like. Can I include something as distant as an essay on Shakespearean revenge, or can it be somehting about my hobbies, something more personal than the personal statement itself? I have no clue, what to write.
