<p>I want to make a suggestion to those who are applying to Brown online. Ive seen a few instances here of people turning questions that are meant for just a few lines into full essays, and this is a bit troubling. So, I would suggest that instead of relying on the character limits imposed by the online application, all of you should download the paper application and take a look at how long your responses should be. If your response would not fit in the space provided on the paper app, then cut it down; its as simple as that.</p>
<p>Are you mainly talking about the "who or what interested you in Brown," short response?</p>
<p>^ i think he s/he is...after all, there are ppl who say they've written 500 word essays for the "why brown" statement...when they give you a mere 15 lines on the paper app.</p>
<p>its kinda hard to tell how long they want it to be with the online app...I know they give the character limit</p>
<p>EXACTLY, mgcsinc. The "who interested you in Brown" I don't think was intended to be an essay. On the paper form, they give you room for probably 30 something words.</p>
