Now, for this one, I actually want to verify that you do mean words, not characters. For the "plans for upcoming school year," I have like 300 characters, lol. What did you include that brought you up to 600 words?! For instance, Harvard's essay is more open ("Summarize your activities," which I took to include some general personal/life activities, etc.), whereas Geisel specifies "let us know about the nature of your work," so that's all I have so far. Do you think this is an appropriate place to go into how through my job as a nursing aide I have made wonderful connections with residents, dealt with difficult residents/family members, seen the slow decline of mind and body, blah blah blah touchy-feely touchy-feely...?
