Would this count as new experience not mentioned in primary apps?

Since I am reapplying, I have taken on 2 new jobs and retook the MCAT, which all shows in the primary app (also used the 2 jobs as most memorable).

In the secondary essays, can I repeat those activities on the question: What have you done during the last year?
Should I just list them out or write another short-essay but on totally different topic from the most memorable?

And will taking the Casper test in July delay my secondary processing?

any ideas?

I can't answer your secondary essay question, though I'm curious to hear what others have to say. I do know that when I took CASPer last time I applied, I could turn in all my secondary stuff and the schools I sent it to seemed...content? What's weird about CASPer is that you never hear about your score or when it's done or anything. To the best of my knowledge, your app is "complete" only once they have everything, including your CASPer results.

I am registered for july for Casper but secondaries cant be sent out without my Casper results, which may take about 2 weeks after taking it....I guess i will pre-write my secondaries.

Any answers on my first question?

-They are new activities and thus should written about on the secondary
-how you write them is up to you
-CASPer may be part of the secondary process for some schools
-But guys, some med schools only start doing any major processing in mid-July, with most in August and September

Thanks for the clarification. I shouldnt have any problems with Casper or the secondary now 🙂
