<p>Since my question didnt get addressed, i'll ask again. The short answer question for the common app. Should I just write it out like an essay, just like I did for the personal statement? It says briefly elaborate on an extracurrical activity, and it has 1000 word limit.</p>

<p>How long should I make this?</p>

<p>This section is really pretty short and focused. It is not 1,000 words I believe it is 1000 characters, so practice one. It will be like 2-3 paragraphs.</p>

<p>The long essay is supposed to be around 500 words.</p>

<p>Oh…Well I guess I failed reading comprehension. Thanks for the clarification Lakemom.</p>
