Secondary asks same ? as PS

[MiesVanDerMom]

OSU wants 600 words on why i want to be a doctor and how I've tested it. I already did this for my PS. Now what? There's only so many different ways to answer this question. I'm thinking same motivatin, but go into some other volunteer experiences I didnt have room for in the PS?? Anyone have thoughts on strategy here? Do I need to come up with new motivations? That's kinda weird.

I'm having the same problem for other secondaries. Is it bad to repeat experiences that have already been presented in the PS and/or optional essay? It's hard to avoid because it asks a question that you already answered....

I have heard it is not the best to repeat experiences from your personal statement in the secondaries. But, I would think if you could expound on a different lesson or perspective on medicine that you learned from a particular experience it would be fine. I am also working on the OSU secondary app.
