<p>For the short statements in NU supplement (painting, fictional character), how can u explain anyting in less than 50 words? For example, in the painting question, it says to name the possessions (plural) and why I chose them.. so would it be like one sentece describing my possessions and second sentence explaining why I chose them?? (and maybe a short concluding sentence?)
idk.. 50 words seem awful small to me..</p>
<p>I've been having trouble trying to condense my thoughts to fifity words too, but I think thats just part of the challange.</p>
<p>They want you to find a way. Everyone that is applying there has to do it and they do so it's very possible.</p>
<p>I figured it out; the answer, that is. Northwestern is a top school, and they want everyone to have decent writing skills once (<strong>If</strong>) they get admitted into the upcoming class. So, they want to see how well you can present your thoughts in as concise of a manner as possible. Being concise is, from what i've heard, necessary so you don't ramble and ramble (As I tend to do anyways lol). Write your idea down, have it, and just shorten everything as much as you can for the short essays.</p>
<p>wait, so if we have like 56 - do you think 6 words will be cut off? thanks</p>
