for the free afternoon question, do they mean "what do you typically do with a free afternoon" or "what would you do if you could do anything in a free afternoon"? my response would be pretty different depending on what the question is asking.

fortune? lol, just a guess.
and I don't believe they have to be profound. They might want profound (" "), but they just want to get to know you more in those short takes.

A nerdy (somewhat porn-ish) website.

i don't know if you were talking to me (probably not) but my question was: for the free afternoon question, do they mean "what do you typically do with a free afternoon" or "what would you do if you could do anything in a free afternoon"? my response would be pretty different depending on what the question is asking.

phrasing it like that is wayy too lame and lengthy for a school like Yale

whitecadillac, if you were an admissions officer, would you like to read "sleep, eat, do homework?"

I agree with dancer.

Yep, in my opinion, that's exactly the type of stuff they want to hear.
