Can People please list all the schools with easy secondaries: Rochester Boston Finch George Washington
I'm sorry, but you are kidding right? unless the UCLA secondary changed from last year, that thing was long, it had like 6 short essays, and if you applied disadvantaged, you had some extra stuff to fill out...I can't comment about duke and columbia. NYMC, harvard are pretty easy....

EASY: ------- Cornell NYU NYMC GW Harvard UCSF Yale BU Einstein Boston Penn TOUGH: --------- UCLA Pritzker Duke* Columbia UCSD Davis Irvine Rush Loyola Northwestern USC Vanderbilt UVA *In my book, Duke wins this one hands down...6 short-answers (1000 character limit each), 2 essays (5000 character limit each)...This adds up to around 2300 words. Talk about screening for drive!

Adding Case Western to the Tough category--the essay can be time-consuming, if for no other reason than that you get to write about something important to YOU, so tend to put a little more love and affection into it (at least I did). Wash U, Tulane, and Baylor were definitely not mindless but they seemed to be relatively quick also, so I'll add them to the East category.

I think the categorization is a little crude. I propose the following. None UT Houston UTMB Mayo Trivial Cornell NYMC GW Harvard UCSF Yale BU Einstein Penn Albany Creighton Vermont Penn State MCOW Finch Tufts EASY Tulane Baylor Wash U Loma Linda UT Southwestern Moderate Stanford NYU Tough UCLA Pritzker Columbia UCSD Davis Irvine Rush Loyola Northwestern USC Vanderbilt UVA U of MD Case Western Impossible Duke
hey, there was nothing else on TV besides a rerun of ER. So I thought I'd waste my time and be cool for once.
Alphabetizing, clarifying Columbia and adding Pitt, since this year's applicants don't seem to have a Dra. Foxy equivalent to do this sort of thing for you! None Columbia (but a separate primary) Mayo UT Houston UTMB Trivial Albany BU Cornell Creighton Einstein Finch GW Harvard MCOW NYMC Penn Penn State Tufts UCSF Vermont Yale EASY Baylor Loma Linda Tulane UT Southwestern Wash U Moderate NYU Stanford Tough Case Western Columbia (OK, leaving it, although technically not a secondary) Loyola Northwestern Pitt Pritzker Rush UCDavis UCIrvine UCLA UCSD U of MD USC UVA Vanderbilt Impossible Duke
Creighton is also easy. One essay about 'why Creighton'- a limit of 250 words. P.S. Sorry that I could not put it in the order you guys were. I'm new to SDN and am still trying to figure out how to use it! Great place though.
Creighton is already on the list as "trivial." To copy a list and add to it, just hit the quote button at the bottom of the post, delete that poster's comments and the quote codes at the beginning and end and insert your additions. Welcome to SDN!! Glad you found us!!

I am agreement that Duke's secondary was by far the hardest application that I have yet submitted. I was very surpised that schools like JH were much easier to complete.
Hi Guys, I just wanted to say, I understand about the Duke secondary (current first year at Duke). I actually filled it out 4 months after the "deadline". It took me a while to do some research (we had a question about the ethics of stem cells) and come up with a good moral dilemma. My advice, do a good job on it. Remember Duke is non-rolling, so don't worry about how long it takes (call and ask how negotiable the deadline is this year), just do the best you can. K! Feel free to PM me with questions bebe2

Saint Louis University's isn't so bad, just add comments not on aamcas and/or why do you want to be a doctor. Probably could be categorized as easy.

I didn't see JHU on this list -- four short questions, I'd say between moderate and hard. *flips coin* I say moderate . . . a lot easier than UVA/Pritzker/Case.
