<p>asiaknight--
this was also the highlight of my week after a deferral from MIT... especially since I found out I was deferred bc I didn't get anything in the mail.</p>
<p>jw my short answer questions were only about 200 words long each, and i answered them in a very straightforward way. def nowhere near the effort that went into the main essay. i see you guys have listed "essays" as in plural. were my short answers too short?</p>
