For the UCSF Secondary essay questions I have been cutting and pasting most of the stuff from my AADSAS application. Most of the information they are asking for was already covered in my personal statement or other parts of the app.
Has anyone else done this also?
Do you think this is good/bad idea?
thanks for the help...I just want to get this over and done with...just accept me already!!!!

did you really just ask that? you had an opportunity to tell the adcoms more about yourself and all you did was COPY/PASTE? Of course it's a horrible idea! Now, I understand there might one thing you talked about extensively in your AADSAS P.S., such as the 1st essay Q on the Secondary, in which case you can just elaborate a tad...but there is no way in heck you could say everything you had to in 4500 characters about your shadowing, leadership, service, hardships, and what makes you so special....Just try to expand on stuff...those essays are designed to help the adcoms get a more complete picture of you. Good luck 👍

you are absolutely right...thanks for the input!
I'm just getting flustered with the new semester starting and still having to worry about all these secondary applications. Thank you for putting things into perspective for me!
All the best to everyone else working on your secondaries!
