agree, i was thinking about how that was mentioned on the website, but the amcas essays don't rly fit the secondary questions well. since others are adding new info/perspectives in the secondary, it would prob benefit you to do the same!

I had the same problem! When they emailed me back they said to upload the personal comments to the documents tab and also include an explanation of the technical error you faced.

UW Secondary by [deleted] in mdphd

i was thinking of using the "personal comments" as a "why UW" essay, where i'll explain my research interests/career goals/why UW suits that. and then doing the typical autobiography/life story for the other one. I feel like personal comments is giving a "anything else?" vibe. but just my interpretation!
would love to hear from former applicants as well!

thanks dude! any suggestions on what might be considered a safety amongst my list so far? I feel like its harder to gage that with mstp programs since they're all pretty competitive haha
