COVID-19 Prompt Secondary Question
Please describe if and how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected your preparation for applying to medical school. (750 chars)
What exactly is this question asking?
Does it want me to state challenges, and how I overcame those challenges? Can I also explain what I learned while working with a pt population that was against vaccines or is that not relevant to the question and how I will apply my lesson as a physician? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Writing secondaries (approach via buckets)
Do any of you have any tips on writing secondaries? I put all my prompts in like 15 different buckets. I figured I'd write something for each bucket. So I have buckets like Covid-19, overcoming adversity, diversity, etc. After writing buckets, I figured I'd have submission material for any school and could just frankestein a secondary essay together with my various bucket essays. Do you think this is a smart way to approach writing secondaries or should I just jump into it and start writing...
