<p>I’m completing the illinois institute of technology app and there’s a section on it that is called the written response section. The prompt is: Please take a moment and tell the Admission Committee how you think IIT will prepare you to be a positive contributor to the world. This is your opportunity to share your goals and how you see IIT helping you achieve them.

<p>Im just wondering if this should be a few paragraph thing or like a few pages or what.</p>
<p>definately NOT a few pages! It says “take a moment”. Keep it simple don’t pad or BS. I don’t know how many kids apply to IIT but I can tell you that many ad-coms want to get a true sense of you in as few words as possible. Be clear and unique but be brief.</p>
<p>ie no Miss America world peace and ending world hunger stuff unless you have a clear plan as to how you would do that. It’s a good question, don’t blow it off but as Polonius would say “brevity is the soul of wit”</p>
<p>that’s what i thought but my parents said a 1-2 pages.</p>
<p>length is not equal to quality. But I am not the one who has to live w/ your parents.</p>
<p>500 words?</p>
<p>I’m having to write the same one right now, too bad it’s annoying to try to write.</p>
