I was just wondering if its better to do Option 1, the essay, or Option 2, the list, on their secondary. Just looking for opinions.
I worried about this too, but I did the list of 5 qualities and got an interview a couple weeks later. Neither of my interviewers mentioned or even alluded to the secondary app, mostly just chatted with me, so I don't know if it's such a big deal. I am an in-state applicant, I don't know if that matters....

Yes, it matters that you're in state, you're secondary was your interview invite. It's just a formality to hand it in before scheduling your interview.
About the essay . . . if they cared they wouldn't give you a choice. I wrote the essay because I thought I had a good answer for it, and I think listing qualities about myself is kinda cheesy, and I didn't want to get grilled about what qualities I wrote down in an interview. Plus, the essay gave me a chance to highlight an activity that I had been doing after I filed my AMCAS.
Do what ever one is going to give them the most good information about you.
My AMCAS was verified on July 22nd, and I didn't get contacted about the UNC secondary until September 14th - pretty slow, I was definitely nervous there for a while....
