How to Write the Additional Information Essay | Medical School Secondary Essays

Описание: The Additional Information Essay, also commonly known as the “Anything else?” Essay, is the broadest of all the medical school secondary essay categories.

It’s a catch-all for whatever information you haven’t already disclosed in your other essays for a given school. It’s usually optional, and when you’re working against the clock, you might be eager to simply submit your secondaries ASAP, rather than bothering with a prompt that’s not even required.

But many applicants fail to realize that Additional Information Essays can be your chance to tip the scales in your favor and win over adcoms.

In this video, we’ll point out a few common types of Additional Information Essay prompts. Then, we’ll discuss how you can determine the best approach for responding to these prompts—if you even need to respond at all. And finally, we’ll show you how to turn a disjointed, bland Additional Information Essay into one that is a crucial and illuminating component of your overall application.
