The Expand on an Extracurricular Question

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>For the Common Application question: “Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below (1000 character maximum).” Is the answer to this supposed to be one paragraph or more of an essay? Should I have an introduction and conclusion paragraph or should I just start the essay right to the point?</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>
