Hello, so my school makes us submit short essays about our motivation for medicine, why we want to be a physician and not another healthcare provider, the strengths of our application, etc. I asked my professor for a LOR, and she said yes + she would like to see a final draft of "the essays that you have to write about why you want to go to medical school, etc…" I'm thinking, based on the wording, she's asking for the multiple school essays and not a PS draft but I'm not 100% sure.
The thing is my PS draft is bare bones right now/it would take me like a week to put together but I do have the short essays ready, and I don't want to delay in getting back to her since I'm sure she's really busy--I thought the wording implied the form essays, so I wanted to ask if anyone had any opinions on whether it is okay to just send the essays to her right now and ask if she also wants an AMCAS personal statement draft? Or should I just send her an email saying I can get my PS draft to her by the end of the week? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm not sure what the appropriate etiquette would be here. Thank you!

I am writing to clarify whether you would like copies of the short essays I have already written, or a draft of my AMCAS personal statement (which will take another week to complete).
