Short Answers
Minimum of 1000 characters and a maximum of 4000 characters (200 to 800 words) are required for each short answer question before the application can be submitted. We strongly recommend that you do the following:
Read all the questions first.
Outline your response to each question before you begin writing, making sure to address all parts of the question fully and completely.
Use different examples in different responses to build the most complete picture of yourself as a unique student applicant. The more details you include, the stronger your answers will be.
Type out your responses to the short answer questions in a Microsoft Word or Notepad document (like this template) to ensure safe keeping if you need to leave the application before submitting.
Share draft with a teacher or relative to review and ask for feedback.
The Bellevue College Center for Career Connections is available to assist applicants with career &/or education advising and planning. More information can be found on their website.
