About how long should the "why Vassar?" essay be?

<p>Anyone know how much is too much? I have a lot I want to fit in there, but I don't want to be aggravatingly long-winded!</p>

<p>Seeing as there are really no guidelines on the supplement, I would imagine that you have a lot of leeway in terms of length. I would, however, recommend that your essay not be longer than two pages... if I remember correctly from when I applied to schools, that seems to be the maximum length most schools that specify length recommend. </p>

<p>Personally, when I wrote my "why Vassar" response, it was a half-page paragraph.</p>

<p>I did about 700 characters since that was the maximum allowed if you typed it in the app...so I figured that was a decent length.</p>
