Columbia "Short Answer"

<p>When you view the Columbia University application requirements, the website says that you need a few "short answer" topics to Columbia-specific questions.</p>

<p>Does anybody have any idea what a "short" answer constitutes? (Is it more like under 500 words or under 50?)</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>Perfect. Thanks :)</p>
