Question about Duke secondary

[enigma85]

Is this one question basically 3 questions? My greatest strength and most significant vulnerability will not really add anything unique to the medical school community......

"How will you add a unique dimension to our medical school community? In answering this question, please also describe your greatest strength? What is your most significant vulnerability? Please understand that the "strength/vulnerability" questions will in fact require two distinct/separate responses; they are two different questions. They are both important but not necessarily related."

bump....


Also, they say
"Letters of recommendation should be sent to Duke AFTER you have received an invitation to interview. This applies to applicants who are planning to submit paper recommendations. Recommendation letters are not reviewed or required by the screening committee but will should be on file at the time you interview."

So do you think it's ok to send them online recs (e.g. VirtualEvals) before hearing back about an interview?
