<p>since this is my first college application, i’m not sure about how to write the personal statements or short responses</p>
<p>Do these things require an intro/conclusion, or do you just get right to it? Do they have to be your best writing like your essays have to be?</p>
<p>of course your best writing!!!</p>
<p>and you sort of want an introduction and conclusion, but it’s unique compared to most “thesis…evidence…fluff” essays you write in highschool. it might be useful to look up some sample essays online, or just try to write a story about a personal experience & have one of your teachers make recommendations on the essay for you.</p>
<p>hope i helped, and good luck!</p>
<p>thanks! you did help.</p>
