dsacks 10 / 19 Dec 28, 2008 #1List and describe your activities, including jobs, during the past two summers: Please note, DO NOT use hard returns in your responses.It allows for 300 characters maximum. Are incomplete sentences ok?
pencil 6 / 11 Dec 28, 2008 #2my teachers have always taught me that if a question says "list" complete sentences are not needed. but i suggest contacting the school just to be sure.
Linnus 6 / 89 Dec 28, 2008 #3Since the prompt said "do not use hard returns in your responses" I think the admission officers want complete sentence. Also, it's always better to be on the safe side.300 characters max is not a lot so instead of listing everything, I would focus on the jobs and activities that have influenced you the most. Provide a sentence or two on the nature of each activity and how it influenced you.Good luck!
OP dsacks 10 / 19 Dec 28, 2008 #4Thanks. I'm gunna call the school. Its Columbia if you were curious.
EF_Kevin 8 / 13,321 129 Dec 29, 2008 #5It's always great to call the school! It's great to make a good impression and have them remember your name. As for lists, I think there are also teachers who say that you SHOULD use complete sentences.Know what? I think you should use complete sentences just to show off. Post your list here, and I'll help if I can. It is good to show mastery of the language...
JohnDavid 1 / 14 Dec 29, 2008 #6I used complete sentences when I answered this question. It seemed impossible to lists everything with the character limit, so I focused on a few important ones.I hope this helps.
