<p>how's everyone coming along? I'm done everything except the "what in particular has influenced your decision to apply" question. what did you all put for that? I can't think of anything that doesn't sound cliche, or that doesn't resemble a description for another ivy league.</p>
<p>also I'm curious what everyone put for their short takes. is the afternoon totally up to our whim? Because I have my dream afternoon spent in paris :D</p>
<p>Answer these short response questions honestly. They want to get to know more about you as a person, to get a full picture of you. So, tell them what you would do with some spare time or on a typical afternoon. Don’t obsess over it. There is no wrong answer, so just be yourself. That, in a nutshell, is what they’re really looking for. Good luck.</p>
