My Yale Short Takes are Really, Really Short!

Colleges & Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>^Is that OK? One is 7 words. </p>

<p>Should I elaborate, or just answer the question?</p>

2

<p>You don’t have to use the entire word limit. Only add more words if they add to the answer–not just to fill up space.</p>

3

<p>That’s fine.
You don’t have to elaborate. Just make sure you’re using complete sentences.</p>

4

<p>Don’t elaborate unless you have meaningful information to add. The admissions committee will appreciate your brevity–“A new Hemingway! He/she expresses so much with so few words!”</p>

5

<p>I’m sure you’re fine… I doubt these mean much.</p>

6

<p>But then again, everyone on the facebook group pretty much used all 25 words…</p>

7

<p>^ which facebook group is that? I’m in two groups called “Yale Class of 2013” (one of which is supposedly fake), but I can’t find that thread.</p>

8

<p>don’t worry about it. I don’t even think they matter that much. Mine were all extremely short and I still got in.</p>

<p>Oh aight. you just friend requested me too, haha.</p>

11

<p>ahh–some of mine weren’t complete sentences—like the 2 qualities one…i just listed 2 mbut it was more than 2 words…and another one was 2 fragments–i knowingly did it…i just though they wanted an answer so i wrote what i immediately thought of and it wasnt a complete sentence…will this hurt me…others were full sentences and i used all 25 words</p>

12

<p>I wonder how much these actually count in the overall scheme of things… they were interesting to answer.</p>

13

<p>It really does not matter much if they are complete sentences…</p>

<p>Mine were not complete sentences and I somehow managed an acceptance; don’t sweat the small stuff.</p>

14

<p>^ That’s good to know- most of mine were complete sentences, but not one. :)</p>
