<p>Aah!</p>
<p>I'm sorry if this was already mentioned in a thread, but how long/short does the $10 question have to be in the written form? Would a regular 6-8 sentence paragraph be enough or do most people write out a full-length essay?</p>
<p>A 6-8 sentence paragraph won't cut it. It's supposed to be an essay.</p>
<p>just think about this...the $10 essay is a very important part of the application review process...if you were an adcom could you learn about yourself in 6-8 sentences?</p>
<p>write an essay!</p>
<p>If your entire response is an essay, then 6-8 sentences probably isn't enough. However, if you use some other medium for your response, then a short 6-8 sentence explanation might be useful</p>
