So I've received my secondaries and some of them want "brief statements" on my motivation for pursuing osteopathic medicine(obviously, right?) but I submitted a personal statement with my primary application essentially detailing that. Anyways, my question is: Should I just resubmit my initial personal statement or spend another week or two trying to write more essays? It's a pain in the arse doing all this redundant work since they should have received all of our preliminary apps with this info(ie/ previous work experience, volunteer experience, etc.). Thanks for any input.
