<p>For stanford, they had an essay that said "Write a note to your future roommate about a personal experience that reveals something about you." Being a procrastinator, I only had about 4-5 sentences. It was a short answer question so I assume a paragraph should be fine.</p>
<p>My other essays/short answers were really good though. And the basic content of the roommate short answer response was pretty good. Will this significantly hurt me if the rest of my application is good?</p>
