<p>Quick question:
for the part on the application that asks "favorite movie, book, adjectives, etc, etc"...are we supposed to just list things or provide brief explanations? I have heard conflicting stories about this.</p>
<p>what did you all do?</p>
<p>thanks...</p>
<p>do what it says. just put the movie title, the book title. dont explain it. thats what i did</p>
<p>yeah, no more than 10 words at max. and be straightforward, its easier that way. the 250 word essays are a pain, goodbye world limits.</p>
<p>thanks guys...that's what im gonna end up doing i think...but apparently this one dude from my school wrote short explanations and stuff...(he got deferred ED, so i dunno how much good it did him...haha)</p>
<p>I doubt it really matters whether it's 1 word or 10 (some things definitely merit an explantation)....but then again, I gave 10 word explanations on a couple of answers and got deferred. I seriously doubt that was the reason, though, lol. :)</p>
<p>Haha, yeah...that has no factor in admissions. It's one of those, "getting to know you" kind of things. But who knows?</p>
<p>definitely dont write for the sake of writing. they def like answers that are short, smart and to the pt.</p>
<p>My understanding of questions like that is that no answer you give will gain you brownie points, but some answers may detract them. Therefore if you feel your answer needs an explanation, you are already in the proverbial hole, and such explanation would constitute digging.
Personally, the only thing I put any sort of explanation for was favorite website--I put the URL and then described what the site was about.</p>
