No Word Limit Strategy: When there is no stated limit, aim for 250–400 words per response. "No limit" does not mean write a novel — clarity and conciseness are valued. Open with a hook, support with a story, and close with a takeaway.
📅
Submit Early: Most schools review secondaries on a rolling basis. Submitting within 2 weeks of receiving your secondary significantly improves your interview chances.
