<p>This is the question:Please answer yes or no. Does multi-disciplinary team research with a faculty mentor, lasting throughout your undergraduate years and dealing with the social implications of science and technology, appeal to you? If yes, briefly tell us why and what are some of the interests, experiences and skills that you would bring to such a research team.</p>
<p>You have to 5-7 sentences. My question is do they prefer a yes or no answer.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that your answer doesn't effect your admissions decision and they use it to see if they should invite you into Gemstone if you meet the academic qualifications for Honors.</p>
<p>so what answer do they want for the gemstone program?</p>
<p>Basically, "Yes, that does sound really interesting to me and I would love to do it...I'm good at so-and-so and really interested in so-and-so because of so-and-so experience."</p>
<p>My friend's answer to that question: "No. Please do not put me in Gemstone."</p>
<p>I was wondering: If we don't get the minimum 350 words on our activities/niche responses, will it hurt our chances at admission?</p>
<p>As usual, quality is more important than quantity; but you should try to get as close as possible to word minimums or maximums, no matter that college app you are working on.</p>
