<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'm working on my common app for the Ohio State University and University of Vermont. I probably shouldn't have procrastinated like this, but it's too late now. I'm working on the short answer section of the application, but the thing is, I REALLY hate writing essays and short answers. SO, I'm not sure if my short answer is good enough. </p>
<p>I wrote about basketball because it's my favorite activity and the short answer has to be about an activity that means the most to me. I'm worried that my short answer will be cliche and boring and I really need my application to stand out (like everyone one else applying to college). If you could tell me what you think I would appreciate it SO MUCH! You don't have to be nice in judging my response. If the truth hurts, so be it. </p>
<p>Again, I really appreciate any help! This is my response (993 characters in a 1000 character limit).</p>
<p>So if you wouldn't mind reading my short answer and critiquing it, could you pm me? For security reasons, I don't want to post the short answer here. Thanks again!!</p>
