I noticed that some of my secondary essays will contain materials that I have already talked about in my personal statement. Will I be able to repeat what I said in my personal statement? Is there any negative impacts if I do so? Thanks.
what if my secondarny essays overlaps with my personal statement

Secondary essays should echo the themes that you covered in your PS, without being repetitive. Med schools want to get a coherent picture of who you are in a personal-professional sense.
Don't be boring in the secondary essays by saying the exact same things, but don't come off as having multiple personalities writing the essays.

Do not cut & paste from the primary to the secondaries. Write fresh. Don't come across as having only one song to sing over & over.
