<p>Might be a silly question but we can be pretty informal when writing our responses right? Sounds kind of stupid but considering we have a limit on characters, could I shorten words by using contractions instead?</p>
<p>Oh yeah. Totally informal. One of mine talked about wanting to be like sultry soul singer Curtis Mayfield. Be honest and laid-back.</p>
<p>My answer to what made me feel physically and mentally renewed was “lolzing.”</p>
<p>yeah, it’s supposed to be informal.</p>
<p>I wrote a haiku for one of them :)</p>
<p>^^^nice :)</p>
<p>Mine were all rather formalish. Like I wrote in complete sentences, but some of my answers were kinda lulz.</p>
<p>Yeah I wrote formally, but the content was rather not formal.</p>
<p>I used contractions - what do they expect when you get only 25 words? I don’t really think the short takes are very evaluative - they’re more to give your app a sense of personality with the admissions officers.</p>
<p>Umm yeah all my answers were pretty darn formal.
Oops.</p>
<p>Mine were formal too…</p>
