T26E4, this one? “Why does Yale appeal to you?” It asks,“100 words or fewer.”
^^It’s a twitter world. 140 characters is a full essay.
@lookingforward That’s it. But it changed from the fifty character one before…
@kath00 raises a good point. (And sorry OP, because we are so far off topic now, but I can’t resist throwing my two cents in.)
Those questions seem ridiculous, but they aren’t. It isn’t supposed to be easy to answer them. They are designed to separate the “wheat from the chaff” for lack of a better phrase. The kids who can think are the ones who can come up with good responses. I actually think they are a good equalizer in a way. There is no room for fancy words when you only have fifty. Every word counts. It’s all about making the most out of what you are given.
