for the questionnaire at the end, how much did u write for each question (on average) since they gave us three blank pages to fill out?

Also, do u actually write on those pages, or do u fill that paper in your printer to type them? (i don't have a typewriter)

thanks!
 
I posted a question about the USCF Secondary Essay Questions but I can't find it anymore - I should have check marked instant email notification.

Thus - would some kind soul be willing to share with us the USCF secondary essay questions, esp for us suckers who submitted apps super late!

Thanks!
 
I'm on the same boat as you guys.

I'm thinking that I will probably type my resonses up and print them on the sheet because... honestly... no one deserves to have to decipher 3 pages of my handwriting. haha... it's not really that bad, but I figured that anything you can do to make it easier on them is a good thing considering how much they have to read.

My responses will probably be about 1/4 to 1/3 of a page each--the instructions say to be concise and we're only allowed to 3 pages for all 10 questions.

If anyone has already finished up the secondary, we'd all be interested in knowing what you did. Plus, we'd 😍 you forever!
 
I wrote directly on the pages, and ended up using all three.
 
I typed my answers up on the computer, then printed them out directly onto those last three pages of the secondary leaving plenty of space up top so my answers did not print out over the top of the headers.

Good luck!
 
Thanks for the input! I'm definitely going to print it 👍
 
When I applied last year, I wrote in the answers for the really short questions. For the longer short essay ones, I just typed it out on a blank document and attached that to the application. They still accepted me, so I think it's ok to do it this way.

i'm prolly gonna fill it out on the sheet. one question about transcripts... do we need to send in another set of official transcripts to UCSF, even though I sent official transcripts to AADSAS?

I was actually able to type up the secondary by using photoshop- yeah I'm a tech dork. I remember the last question was something to the effect of "Why should the admissions committee admit you over other qualified applicants?" -easy right?
