<p>“Please tell us more about your interest in Brown: Why does Brown appeal to you as a college option? Who or what has influenced your decision to apply?”</p>
<p>This is one of Brown short answer questions.
I just wanted to know if I should give it a strait forward answer or could I be creative and write a poem or a love letter?</p>
<p>I was wondering the same thing. I’m thinking be straight forward, as the character limit given on the app doesn’t give much space to work with, but I’m not sure. Maybe they want something artsy?</p>
<p>They want you to be you. If you are artsy, do something artsy, if not do something else, but be genuine. </p>
<p>I am very analytical in the way I approach things, so for my longer Brown essay, I wrote a page long disscussion of Medieval life philosopies, complete with quotations from an historian and a Renaissance philosopher. I didn’t do it because it was what I though Brown wanted to see, but because it was what I wanted to say. </p>
<p>Be yourself and the right school will want you.</p>
