Something New Essay versus Short Takes, Formality?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>This is my first CC post ever, but I was having a discussion with my friend from Yale about how formal the Short Takes for Yale should be?</p>

<p>I am applying RD this year, and some of my responses to the Short Takes (ex. What two qualities do you admire) are very simply worded, like "I admire ____ because ____ and _____ because <strong><em>." or "I wish I was _</em></strong> because ____."
My something new about yourself essay is more formal and eloquent, and so is the 500 character prompt about Why Yale. </p>

<p>I feel slightly ridiculous trying to reword my Short Takes into eloquent sentences with vivid verbs, since I am trying to answer these questions as honest as possible, as if someone asked me up front.</p>

<p>What did you guys do?</p>

<p>Mine don't have any vivid descriptions either, because they obviously take up so much room. They're all short and to the point in direct language.</p>
