<p>So I'm only a junior but just out of curiosity I was wondering...</p>
<p>What's the average word limit for a college essay/supplement?</p>
<p>Most people have told me that it's around 500. Is that accurate?</p>
<p>Around 500 is good, 700 max imo -- for common app
Most colleges give you a ballpark number so work around that</p>
