how did yall answer the change your mind prompt? I'm stuck on whether to write about a time where I changed my mind on a specific issue or when I changed my mind about a more general belief

I wrote mine as changing my mind on a more general belief, but I grounded it in a specific story that caused me to reconsider that belief

For anyone applying MD/PhD- Are you guys planning on writing entirely separate answers for these prompts?:

- Describe your motivation for obtaining a dual degree. This question is very similar to the AMCAS prompt, and you can either copy your essay or submit a different answer. 

- Describe your significant research experience(s) and your role in any publications. This question is very similar to the AMCAS prompt, and you can either copy your essay or submit a different answer.

It just feels like a waste of time for me to redo those essays, especially since I have no new experiences to add and I would just be repeating everything from my primary. As of right now, I'm planning on copying and pasting, unless I hear a resounding "do NOT do this" lol

Nah, I c/p'd my primary essays. Figured it wouldn't be an issue considering they explicitly say that we can

+1 R. I’ll be seeing myself out now. :(

Would not have cared at all if this happened in a few months, but I feel as if I am the first person across all schools to be rejected. What a gut punch. Feeling incredibly dejected and like I don’t belong. (OOS, 514, 3.83, 1st q casper 🫩)
