In many secondaries schools are asking for why I want to be a physician and experiences I have had that helped my deisicion. That is exactly what I wrote about in my personal statement. will it be wierd to write the same stuff again in the secondary as well? Thanks !!
 
Ah, the secondary, the bane of the application process. Not only do you have to pay money to send them in, but you're basically answering the same questions over again (and you will be doing so straight through to the interview).

There's not too much creativity that you can employ to make an answer sound different. I think that there's something in most secondary questions that may differentiate it somewhat from the basic questions you've answered in your personal statement. If so, try to answer the question as abstractly as possible :laugh: . Otherwise, just break out your thesaurus and figure out a new and interesting way to say just what you said in your PS (might be the best option).

Best of luck!
