not trying to criticize, but when I see people that list their strengths in an uninteresting, laundry list type fashion all I see is "blah, blah, blah." It doesn't leave a mark.

After reading that, all I remember is engineering. I think that's something that adcoms could gathered from your AMCAS.

Take a unique approach. Yes, absolutely integrate the things you were talking about, but make it memorable. For my secondaries, I talked about things that couldn't be understood directly from my AMCAS and also went into a great deal of depth on 1 or 2 attributes/anecdotes. I made it very personal.

Hi Jolie,

Can you be more specific? I feel that I have said all that need to be said about being unique in my AMCAS, so what else do you focus on?
