for the questions like favorite book, favorite movie, favorite word, etc.
are most of you just answering the question, or are you also including explanations/commentary.

i looked on a few other CC threads and some people’s answers were like “FAVORITE BOOK: Harry Potter” and others were like “FAVORITE BOOK: Harry Potter - I love the quirky characters, beautiful writing, and imaginative concept! I love to curl up at night with a great HP book and read until I fall asleep!!”

the really small blanks on the commonapp website would suggest that they’re looking for short/concise answers, but then when you look @ print-preview, there’s actually a lot of room available for each answer.

what do you all think? thanks!
