What is this thing supposed to be about? I have written a good essay about myself and my qualities, but it doesn't really come off as a "why I want to be a doctor" essay. Is it supposed to?

I wrote a mini biography, and got secondaries to all of the schools I applied to.

Did you not really directly relate any of it to medicine? I am under the impression they don't really pay much attention to the essay anyways.
Mine went into the experiences that I had that led me to medicine, and why I wanted to be a doctor. A small paragraph was why I wanted to be DO.
On a side note, I thought they gave us way too little room to write the essay (about only 3,000 or so characters). AMCAS allows 5,300 characters so it allows you to talk more. I basically revised my AMCAS essay to be a shorter version and included DO talk in it.
