...so might as well answer mine, please.
1) LORs: Most schools require 3 but some say you can send more. I was just planning on getting the 3 but will I not be "as cool" as the other kids who send in more? Should I go searching for a couple more writers as to keep up with all the other applicants or are most of you guys just planning on using the basic 3 as well?
2) Secondaries: I hate the question "Is there anything else you would like to tell the admissions committee". What comes to mind is "No, not really" but I feel like everyone else is going to have profound answers to this question. I know this is my opportunity to be like "hey, my grades are like this because my dog died" or "I worked 40 hours a week to support my family while going to school" But I just don't have answers like that and I don't want to ramble about stuff I already wrote in my PS. Is it bad if I leave this question blank or should I think up SOMETHING to write like "golly gee, I would love to go to your school....etc."
Thanks guys. You ARE my pre-med advisors.
