i was editing a college application and this is what it said above the page designated for the personal statement:
Save your statement before the session expires
else your statement will not be recorded.
and then there was this huge clock counting down 20 minutes.
this was the prompt:
Please type an essay of 2000 characters (approximately 300 words) that tells us more about you. Some suggestions include personal experiences or circumstances that have been important to your personal or academic development; issues that you feel strongly about; personal, educational and career goals; or any other information that you would like the Admissions Committee to know as we review your application.
it was kind of funny to me that the university practically makes the students go through a timed writing assignment of sorts! what will they think of next?
