UT Southwestern Secondary Application

[Genom3]

Did anyone else receive instructions to submit the UT Southwestern Medical Center Secondary Application? The questions seem very generic, basically stuff that I spent a huge chunk of my SOP talking about. And the questions are very different from previous years. I just feel like I'm repeating stuff from the SOP again and thinking about it, I couldve used my SOP to explain other useful things.

I definitely didn't get an email or see anything about a Secondary Application... although they did send me a waver for an english language test waver that I didn't need or ask for so could be an error like that. Was it like submitting a whole other application? Or just a few targeted questions?

I remember reading somewhere that the secondary application is only for international applicants which is why you probably didn't receive it. The application has just 3 questions - Why UT Southwestern, what do you want to research on and list interested faculty.

Those are the exact same questions I received last year. Yes I copy-pasted relevant sentences from my SOP (and I got in).
