Well dont copy and paste it, but you should try to atleast say it in a different way.

well...you could rephrase the ps...but i would try to find something new to write...it's your chance to give them more info about you, so if you can think of something else to talk about, that would probably be better.

Could you post the question?
thanks

Oh and how long is the secondary? I just got it today, but I don't want to start it because I won't be able to finish it soon.

regarding the diversity essay:

what if you are a middle-class white male? what do you write about? i don't mean this to be funny or anything, i am really stumped. i don't feel anything in my "background" financially, educationally, ethnically, etc. is extremely diverse.

what do you talk about then?

Yeah seriously, I have this same question

hey medikit, we should start our own thread for us boring white guys who have nothing to talk about.

Yeah seriously, I have this same question

Talk about how your non-science major, work experience, third arm, etc will set you apart.

I'm actually 25% Icelandic. Does that count for anything?

I would expand on the PS things that you were not able to talk about in detail...that you want to share with them.
