A few of the schools I'm applying to ask the question "Why should we accept you?" or "What qualities do you have that will make you a good osteopathic physician?" (I took these prompts to basically mean the same thing). How many qualities do you think I should write about? I currently have 2 main qualities that I talk about in my essay and I have stories to back them up but I feel like I could be using the space to include more qualities about myself - but at the same time I'm feeling quality over quantity yanno? In a dilemma here so lmk what yall think

edit: also sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong forum, just made an account today so still figuring this site out lol
 
Do you have a character count? What 2 qualities have you already hit on?
