<p>the harvard short answer question is
"please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities..."
so does that pretty much mean i can write whatever i wanna write about the activity?
what i mean is, can i write sorta like an anecdote?</p>
<p>Sure! They’re pretty open with that, but I would definitely be concise.</p>
<p>Yes. But as I remember, the word/character limit for that question on the app is pretty low. I remember having to cut out like half of what I wanted to write. Concise is good.</p>
<p>Yes, you can. Whatever works.</p>
<p>i wrote about smothering gooey cheese on my brothers face and making my dog lick it off. i was accepted.</p>
