<p>A school to which I am applying asks the question, "How did you first learn about School X?" It then has a fairly sizeable box in which to type my response. My question is this: how long should my answer be? Is this an essay or just a 2-3 sentence response? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>It is a short, quick response.</p>
<p>The reason there is a large box is due to default character settings.</p>
<p>Thank you! I didn't know what I was going to say if they wanted a long response. After all, they sent me a letter and a guidebook, so I looked the school up online and decided to apply. I'm very glad I don't have to stretch that into an essay!</p>
<p>I am not 100 percent on this, but why would they ask you to write an essay about how you heard about them? It is probably used for future marketing purposes.</p>
<p>U of C only gave us a line for that question.</p>
