<p>Hi EA people... how long are your 'short answers' to the activities question on page 4 of the common app? It says <150 but the box (online) allows up till 6000 characters - that's more than 1000 words... </p>
<p>Any idea what Yale expects/ favours? long ones or short ones? </p>
<p>thx!! and good luck!</p>
<p>They don't want them to be long
Keep it around the word limit</p>
<p>Yeah, the website said that these should be really short. They specifically say one or two well crafted sentences.</p>
<p>thank you!! how did you use the 'additional information' box then?
i know we shouldnt be pressurized to use it.. but ....</p>
<p>one for two well crafted sentences? eek. i never heard that before, but hopefully, they won't kill me (i'm still within that limit!)</p>
<p>Well, I used that to explain my honors and awards... but that's becase they needed explaining. Some people I know put resume type stuff in there.</p>
<p>thank you pianoking! i'm still struggling with my resume.. and the deadline's so soon! haha. If i dont get it done, is it bad not to attach one?</p>
