<p>The short essays (What u do for fun?/What professor to study under?) should I try to be creative or should i stay simple? Btw, what does it mean by what professor to study under? Does it mean any professor? and where do u find the professors?</p>
<p>Well, if you can be creative, that's amazing, considering the 300 character limit. For the short essays you have to be concise and to the point, since you basically have room to write only 3 sentences or so. For the professors, what I did was go to the department's website that I was interested in and looked at their faculty members and the position of each one - professor of such-such....then I just googled their names.</p>
<p>those questions are, shall i say, like "tie-breakers" for the students</p>
<p>I think they're great to use to tie some of the weird pieces of your app into a more cohesive whole</p>
<p>Is it bad that I put pretty general things. For example, going to the movies, snowboarding, etc.?</p>
<p>No, but it would have been nice if the things related to other parts of the app. But as long as u don't say reading shakespeare and reading for the blind u should be okay.</p>
<p>they're not a big deal. 3 sentences... I highly doubt they would reject you for that. I would think they look at all the other parts with more emphasis</p>
