My MCAT score will be out in May and since I am not a good essay writer I am thinking about starting early on my secondaries. I searched the school specific thread but some secondaries questions were not posted so if you happened to know the prompt for any of the following schools please let me know.

New York Medical College.
UCLA
UC Davis
UC San Diego
Mercer

Thank you.

Thank you.

You can probably go ahead and assume that each will have a prompt along the lines of "Why do you want to go here?" Other than that, search prior years school-specific threads, I bet you'll find them, and they dont seem to change much from year to year.

the UCLA prompts are in the first page of the thread from this year.

you have to get screened in to receive one and even then it's a real bear. so maybe don't tackle that one until you have to.

good luck

I wouldn't start working on them untill you get them! If the questions change or your rejected pre-secondary then you will just have done more work than necessary.

Rule 1: never create more work for yourself.

Just relax and enjoy your summer. Work on your personal statement

If you want a collection of prompts from last year taken from the SDN threads then it is attached.

The UCLA, UCSD, UCD and mercer prompts are inclosed. From what I could tell there was no prompt for NYMC.

If you aren't a resident of Georgia, don't even bother with Mercer. If you aren't a resident of California, you'll have a challenge at the Cali state schools but nothing like Mercer.

Thanks for the help. It is not that I want to create more work but my personal statement is ready so I want to start brainstorming for secondaries. I came to the US when I was 17 and did not speak a word of English back then so writing has never been my strong point.

Thank you so much. Exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you for the tip. I am CA resident.

Beat me to it. I was pretty sure I remembered 0% oos for mercer on the MSAR a couple years back. 🙂

Is there a source besides the MSAR for learning about residency percentages?

Don't know of any and the MSAR is available now from AAMC for about $25. Worth every penny!
