Tried to keep everything under 500 words. Mine were like 350-400. Enough to answer the questions without turning it into a snooze fest. Good luck!

These secondaries are beyond ridiculous. No word count, hardly any ability to copy from other secondaries, and then they ask the same question 5 times between their prompts!!! It is impossible to write this much unique BS! I am convinced that they are just trying to tire people out from applying here like oh my god this is so frustrating. Wasting an entire day writing for one school...

I agree its a test, I even suspected they gave you the option to only write about 2 of the campus to see who would go and do all 3 instead
