| Will someone look at "what I did for the past 2 summers"
Will someone read what I have written in response to the question "What did you do for the past two summers"?
It turned out to be a mini essay but still only 255 words (limit was 250 words). Looking for someone to give me their honest opinion. If interested, PM me and I will send it to you.
Thanks!

yeah sure, but i don't think a very strong emphasis is placed here or its any judgment of your writing skills..they just want to know you weren't sitting in front of the tv every day.

I am curious as to what other applicants wrote about. What I did for the past 2 summers is a true reflection of my personality and character. Therefore, this question probably has more meaning to me than most applicants.

So they don't actually expect this to be an ESSAY, just a summary? I'm sure I could make mine an essay, but I don't see why they would need one more sample of my writing abilities...

yeah, they just want to know what you did.
I am writing "interned at a law firm and took a cross-country road trip."

So those two questions asking what you did in the last two summers and what your most meaningful activity is are not supposed to be answered in very sophisticated essays right? Just plain and comprehensive descriptions?
And I would like to read your summer essays too.

Common application makes it sound like descriptions, princeton online application sounds like they want essays.
