Would you like to add anything?

I've been through all the hassle. The primary's done and is solid. I submitted late on time and AMCAS corrected my entries in a way I was forgiven the excess ( For those of you who remember my post ) ...
And now I am in the secondary...

So when I read the question is there anything important you would like to add? or the one asking about any constraints ... I began wondering whether it's good to copy paste here my diversity essay for the ones who did not ask about this, and/or mentioning why I'd go to this school.

Any thoughts on this? Are these questions important? Is the second one relevant to an international student who comes from a non-disadvantaged background?

Any help is appreciated, and if you could read my answer for the questions if it helps you understand I can send it to you and be really thankful.

I've been so far and I think I got a shot.

Btw, I applied among others to: Cornell, Wash U, Jefferson, Georgetown, Feinberg, UCLA, Einstein... and received a secondary from all

I used this prompt several different ways: diversity essay, why this school essay, challenge essay

I answered (basically copypasta) about 60% of the "anything else" prompts I got. Haven't done a review of schools that I've gotten II's from and those I haven't gotten any from vs. whether or not I filled out that section. I guess that's something to do at the end of this cycle.

Those prompts are to tell the school things without which the rest of your application would not make sense. They're contextualizers for extenuating circumstances. They're not diversity essays or why you love the school essays. They are only for things that you absolutely need the school to know when they are evaluating the rest of your application. Something appropriate to put here would be the illness and death of a family member that made it so you couldn't study for cell biology because you were helping care for them which is why you got a D.

The vast majority of applicants should leave these blank for most schools. Don't make adcoms read more than they have to.
