supplemental essay question!

<p>"If you have participated in any significant research activity outside of school, please provide a brief description and limit your response to one or two paragraphs."</p>

<p>A brief description -- does that mean a research abstract? or am I supposed to talk about my research experience and what I gained from it?</p>

<p>I'm really confused... please help! Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Wondering the same thing. Are these “paragraphs” reviewed by faculty, or someone in the admissions office? Obviously I would change my writing style depending on which one…</p>
