How brief?

<p>On the transfer application they have a question that asks - "Briefly, please indicate the most influential factors in your original decision to attend your present college, such as location, cost, size of student body, only option, special program offered, Early Decision plan, etc."</p>

<p>How brief are they talking about? Like less than one hundred words? Fifty?</p>

<p>The next question asks "What alternatives to transferring to Harvard are you considering?"</p>

<p>So i feel like they want two sentence answers?</p>

<p>“Briefly” usually means 1-2 paragraphs. But then again this is Harvard…</p>
