Pre-writing COVID essay?

[r2med]

My understanding from AAMC's letter yesterday is that several schools are likely to add a COVID-related hardship question to the secondaries. Curious to know how many of you (us) are planning on pre-writing?

Can't prewrite without a prompt

Guess it will be about hardships you have faced due to COVID

It's too general to prewrite a good essay.

It might be good to brainstorm it or look at the AACOMAS one to get a feel for it. Probably no point in writing a generic essay though.

I am personally pre-writing a few paragraphs about how the pandemic has impacted my application cycle, job, etc. I may have to make some edits depending on exact prompts, but I feel the question will almost certainly come up.
