<p>For those who have been through this process/ know more about it than I do, how am I supposed to answer Yale's short takes? Should it be a basic answer, or should I try to elaborate and make it sound sophisticated and all?</p>
<p>Thanks!!!!</p>
<p>The former.</p>
<p>You are supposed to answer the questions as honestly AND specifically as you can. Here is what my son wrote for one question: (BTW: Don’t even think about using his answer, or a form of his answer, as he is a current Yale student and you would be plagiarizing.)</p>
<p>What would you do with a free afternoon tomorrow?
I would go to the Guitar Center on 14th Street in Manhattan and try out guitars that I can only dream of purchasing.</p>
