<p>What are colleges looking for in this section of the common app?</p>
<p>Well, a response in English that is coherent, and less than two-hundred and fifty words.</p>
<p>We’d need a topic here (or a sample college app question).</p>
<p>Also, I’m going to get a bit pedantic here – it should be “250 words or fewer”. These things matter in applications.</p>
<p>Thank you… I should clarify. I mean, are they looking for something creative? An experience? Or do they want a fact of statement</p>
<p>There is a 150 or fewer word section, but I don’t think there is a 250 or fewer one…</p>
<p>sorry that is what I meant!</p>
