On the online graduate application form, are you expected to answer in FULL sentences?
Posted by admin | Under Online Graduate Monday Jun 28, 2010I asked this exact same question yesterday (or the day before) and I literally got 50% of the people answering saying one thing, and the other 50% saying the complete opposite. Let me take another vote….
If they ask something like "How do you plan to fund your studies?"
can I just put "Personal savings and bank loans" or are you supposed to write a complete sentence, "I plan to fund my studis with personal savings and bank loans"
You should answer with a full sentence, because you are not a caveman.
Really, if you *can* write a full sentence, why wouldn’t you? Only one of your options could hurt you, so pick the other one. Write it out.
Seems simple to me. Be clear and concise. How effectively do you communicate? – That’s a question you’re being asked w/o it being written down. Answer it like a pro in your field would(if they were trying to impress the people who are going to be reading it!). You’re trying to make a case for yourself. Impress ‘to whom…’ with your abilities at every point you can. But don’t come off looking like a dork either. If a phrase fits well, use it. If a sentence fits better, hey, go for it. Use your best judgement, that’s what they’re looking for from you, how good is your judgement? Using proper grammar can be a big plus(because so many others won’t be!).
Oh yeah, and no typos!
