Hello! I wanted to get your opinions on the secondaries. Do ADCOMS want to see a personal statement style (storytelling) responses to the secondary prompts or are straightforward responses good?

You'll probably get better responses on the premed forum, but both styles are good depending on the prompt. Diversity/adversity essays are probably better told using stories while COVID/anything you want to tell us essays are better told using straightforward responses.

Your word/character limit associated with your prompts will guide you. We don't want stories if your word count is small; if we want another personal statement, you'll see a high word limit.
