College Match (Short Answers)

Paying for College Access Programs (Questbridge, Posse)

<p>After sloughing through both the primary application essay and the eight supplements, I thought that the rest of the Questbridge application would be relatively easy. I was wrong.</p>

<p>The short answers are, for some reason, giving me trouble. At first, the 225 character limit seemed daunting, but once I began writing, I actually had the opposite problem in that most of my answers tended to be only a sentence or two long. For those of you applying, how long (approximately) are your short answers? Are they worded the same way that you would word a sentence in an essay, or are they simple and straightforward? I can't seem to figure it out.</p>

<p>I think it is best to word your sentences the way you would word them in a college esasy</p>

<p>I am stating them in a rather straight forward manner due to the character limit, but I find myself having <10 characters left each time. That being said I have seen some cool responses that were stated in very unique ways…</p>

<p>Be sure to use complete sentences.</p>

<p>Do not worry if the answers are short and to the point. The important thing is that you are sincere. Yes, use complete sentence, but you have to play around a bit with the word count.</p>
