I’ve been stressing over my supplemental essays lately. The short answer prompts always seem to throw me off, like how can I say enough in so few words? Does anyone have tips on how to approach them? I want to make my writing impactful without rambling.

For me, it helps to outline first, jot down a few key points I want to hit, and then try to weave them into a story. Also, I’ve started to use a word counter just to keep me in check. Any other strategies that worked for you?
