First post for good luck!

+1 IS secondary

+1 oos mstp

holy shit their secondaries are almost as annoying as Duke

with no word count limit, how long should these essays be?

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

so should I do all 3🫩

I would, its like an extra 50-100 words, you dont know what kind of psychological games these schools are using to cut their bloated application pool

Doing 3 schools instead of 2 won’t show initiative; just shows you can’t follow directions.

i mean it said at least 2, i dont think it will hurt but probably doesnt matter either way

like the other comment says it said at least 2, not 2 max. Obviously does it matter, probably not, but I aint taking a 0.00001% chance when I see sankeys on reddit of 4.0 527 students with all the right activities get into zero schools. this process is cutthroat

I did 300-500 words when I applied last cycle, and was accepted as well!

Helppppp how do I answer this question: What characteristics, qualities, or attributes do you possess that have helped you navigate conflict, change, or unfamiliar situations? In your response, reflect on how you demonstrate resiliency and a growth mindset in your approach to personal and professional development.

Focus on a story or literally answer abt my characteristics, qualities, and attributes? I literally cannot think of ANYTHING

imo, it shows that you went out of your way to research all the campuses. If that's a red flag, well, my apologies for the extra effort.
