Secondary question

[MoosePilot]

On a secondary I was filling out, there was a question phrased something like:

"Is there any additional information you would like the College to know about you?"

I'm thinking of answering it:

"I am extremely interested in School X and would love the opportunity to introduce myself in person."

It definitely pushes a line, though. Anyone have any thoughts? I don't really have anything original to put in there that I did not already put in my primary or earlier in the secondary.

Go for it- may as well fill up the space!

If you base an entire essay on the premise, then yes, go for it. Adding just one line looks silly. You might as well have added it to a different essay on the secondary.

"I am extremely interested in School X and would love the opportunity to introduce myself in person."

Can you say anything about why you like the school, or is that addressed elsewhere in the secondary?

It's addressed elsewhere. It's a whole small essay to itself.

hmm, I didn't think people were getting secondaries yet?

Moose, how about writing a paragraph about what you can offer to that school to diversify their class and improve the overall educational experience of the students there?

Darnit, that was the other essay!

Why do I want to be a DO.

Why do I want to go to their school.

What do I have to offer the class.

Is there anything else I'd like to share?

Plus what was on the primary.

Given your background, I'm sure you had a lot of interesting things to say in the other essays. I don't see anything wrong with your one-liner or just leaving it blank.

I think some people have been looking at the secondary prompt thread to get a head start in what to expect for the near future. Also, some schools like Hopkins, I've heard has their secondaries online.

My former MCAT teacher often told us that most of his secondaries was just a tedious repeat of the AMCAS info.

Some schools have definitely put out secondaries already. Several of TX are available immediately, TCOM sent out invites already, OSU-COM sent out invites, and this weekend I'm going to look for the ones that sit there and passively wait to be filled out.
