Alastriss Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I am wondering what you guys did for the secondaries for these schools. For SUNY's question regarding what we are doing if we are done our degree, is that actually an essay or is it just a few sentences? SDN made it out to be an essay of sorts. For Case Western, I don't know what would be appropriate to talk about regarding personal adversity. It seems that the question is implicitly asking for some really personal things to be said. How did you guys tackle it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you guys tackle it? Just put down enough to get the message across. I don't see how you could put it in essay format anyhow. btw, I applied to SUNY as well.

Alastriss Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Discuss a personal adversity/issue or moral/ethical dilemma so that they gain insight into you as a person - That was CWRU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastriss Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I am really stumped on this. I have a few situations, most tame of which is not getting accepted into medicine this year, but I am not so sure. btw this is the prompt The Admissions Committee is interested in gaining further insight into you as a person. Please describe the experience which you found most personally challenging to this point in your life and discuss how it helped shape you as a person. You may discuss a moral or ethical dilemma, situation of personal adversity or other life-event you believe to have been an important hurdle for you.

Alastriss Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hey guys, I just was wondering how much of a problem do you think it would be if my Case essays were both 2 lines over the 1 page limit. It doesn't seem like a hard cutoff, so I take that it shouldn't be a problem, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
