What is this "Short Essay" they speak of? (Georgetown App)
Short Essay:
Discuss the significance to you of the school or summer activity in which you have been most involved.

Can anyone help me discern what the "short essay" on the Georgetown application is supposed to entitle?
Am I supposed to write a personal-like essay or just describe what I've done? And just how long is "short"?
