<p>In the pre-Application form for some boarding schools the question “Tell us about your child’s interests and goals” is asked. Me and my parents were wondering how long this should be? Should it be like 50 words or 500 words? Thanks!!</p>
<p>Could someone please respond thanks!!</p>
<p>Keep it short and concise. No AO wants to read a 500-word description.</p>
<p>And don’t use “Me & my parents”-- cringe!</p>
<p>There are grammar nazi parents on CC? :D</p>
<p>Yes! With so much informal writing (texting, facebook posts, twitter, etc.) I fear that many of you are discounting the critical importance of presenting your “best self” when writing. It DOES matter!</p>
