<p>For the profile questions (specifically the historical moment, favorite events, and past two summers questions), are we expected to explain briefly why we chose what we chose/its impact on us, or will a list suffice for these as well?</p>
<p>Either would work I guess. Some require more explanation than others. I explained the social and historical significance of my event, for example. Others, like your favourite authors/movies/books, can be done simply as a list.</p>
