<p>Here's a question on the caltech supplement:</p>

<p>"Please list three books, along with their authors, that have been particulary meaningful to you. You need not confine yourself to math or science related texts."</p>

<p>Is it asking me to just list three books and their authors? or list them and then elaborate on each one of them on how each one of them is meaningful to me?</p>

<p>(note that on the online caltech supplement, it said do it in 600 characters or less...which led me thinking do they want me to elaborate more on it or not?)</p>

<p>I just put down three books and their authors. I'm pretty sure you don't need to elaborate or anything like that.</p>

<p>haha. that makes it a lot easier.</p>

<p>lol. The form actually gets truncated after a certain point. But they don't tell you where this point is.</p>
