I dont get the short answer thing

<p>hey guys,,,
what does this mean?:</p>

<p>Caltech students have long been known for their quircky sense of humor and creatice pranks and for finding unusual ways to have fun. What is something that you find fun or humorous?</p>

<p>Ummmmmmmmmmmmm
is the answer should be something creative???????
I find it fun when my friends just fell down or something........
But I dont really think I should write something like that though.....</p>

<p>What am I supposed to write about?
Can you give me an example?</p>

<p>I wrote about my passion for dancing.
(I'm not in any way shape or form a dancer)</p>

<p>just work with it =]</p>

<p>I wrote about a school bus trip...</p>

<p>There is really no right or wrong answer here - this question (as well as other essay-type questions) is for admissions committee to get to know you better...to get to know you on a more personal basis, to add some personality to all those 800's SAT and 5's on AP tests. So...write about something you find humorous, without worrying too much about what the right answer would sound like. After all, that's what the question is asking.</p>

<p>You should write about how your friends just fell down. I am already amused!</p>

<p>Yes, I agree you should write about how your friends just fall down and you think it is funny, if that is actually the case. My son threw out something similar and thought he shouldn't put that because it was "dumb," and I urged to just be honest, that they want to know who you are. If you let the answers reflect who you are, they will be more likely to have a better idea if you'll be a good fit for Caltech, and that is in your best interest.</p>
