Sorry to start a new thread for this but I don't want to wait for people to respond in the secondary prompt thread. I am looking for people to read over and give me suggestions on my secondary essay for MSUCOM. If you are willing to post below and I will send it to you in a PM.

Thank you

Wow! That's a long secondary essay. Have all your responses been that wordy? Is this common?

Definitely not even close. This is my longest. Usually they are between 1/4 and 1/2 page single spaced.

Whew! Thanks for the response. I really thought I was doing something wrong. All of my essays are between 150-300 words.

Okay, it's now less than 3/4 of a page. Any takers 😀

Oh man, this essay is giving me serious writers block. What sucks is they don't interview, so i have to convince then with my writing, I'm really good in person but not the strongest writer.

Yea i agree... and iv'e realized a problem... in my PS, I talked about experiences that have shaped me to adopt qualities important to be a successful physician. I wrote my personal essay for MSU and ended up using the same examples in my PS. FML... I don't know what to do. These examples are honestly the only ones that have truly shaped me to adopt qualities for practicing osteopathic medicine. Should I scrap it and start with something fresh (assuming I can BS something...)?
