Short Answer Grammar

College Essays

<p>The University of Maryland College Park has an application section entitled Short Answer, in which applicants must answer a series of ten "complete the sentence" questions, limiting our answers to 20 words or 160 characters. </p>

<p>For example, the first question is:</p>

<p>In addition to my intended major, my academic interests include...</p>

<p>My question is, should I simply continue off that statement, starting off my short answer with:</p>

<p>"mathematics because blah blah blah." </p>

<p>or should I repeat/reword the question:</p>

<p>"I greatly enjoy mathematics because blah blah blah..." </p>

<p>The former option leaves me a little more room to write with, but I'm not sure if it'll present my answer as a bit...illogical or ungrammatical?</p>

<p>It’s nice to come across a question I haven’t seen asked many times over.</p>

<p>Since restating the prompt would significantly cut in to your character count and, seeing that they should be quite familiar with their own prompts, I think you could safely continue off the prompt.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
