So if I submit the application for part1 and do a campus visit I should be able to conduct the interview during the campus visit right? Is it a blind interview by the adcom? Any ideas?

Is anyone having trouble with essay number 3? After essay 1 and 2, I am unsure what to write about in essay 3 without being too repetitive.
If the purpose of essay #3 is to evaluate your candidacy from their vantage point then you can't introduce new information. If it's not in your other three essays, application, or resume then it doesn't make sense to include it. I think essay 3 is great because it lets you tell them how you think they should view everything you've presented.
