<p>Holy-</p>
<p>They ask the question about the Penn professor and what we like to do for fun but what a 300 CHARACTER response. That’s like two sentences. I am having a hellish time trying to show that I actually care about the question and being concise as possible. It’s down to 500 characters, and it’s as sparse as vegetation in the Gobi Desert. Argh…</p>
<p>Give them a direct answer. They're not looking for an intricate response with details nor are they looking for flowery language.</p>
<p>I would like to work with blank. Give them reasons. Nothing else will fit.</p>
<p>It really is not that important of a question. Its like if someone asked you what you'd like to do for fun...youd list of some things is a sentence...you basically just have to do the same...you just might have to cut out a few things to make it fit. For the professor...drop their name and what they do and a another short statement why you'd like to be involved with them...like...i find so and so's research in such and such to be fascinating or whatever</p>
<p>It was 300 characters!? Lol I guess I read 300 WORDS. I'm doing all of my essays in MS Word before pasting them in. I wasted a whole lot of time, haha.</p>
