<p>Is this supposed to be fairly straightforward, as in "I worked at X place, this is what I did there" or "I took Y class, this is what I learned," or should it be more of a narrative? I know they give you quite a bit of room (2500 words, right?), but I wasn't exactly sure what format they were going for.</p>
<p>Thanks to anyone who answers!</p>
<p>Well, it depends on what format you are more comfortable with. I think that 2500 words is unlikely, unless they hired more readers this year. It is probably something like 2000-2500 characters.</p>
<p>It’s definitely not 2500 words. It’s a ~400-word response.</p>
<p>As for your question, do whatever you think is the best way to tell the school what you did and keep them awake.</p>
<p>Whoops, yeah, I meant 2500 characters. Sorry about the confusion, and thanks for the advice!</p>
<p>Make it interesting but answer the question. :P</p>
