character count of the supplement

<p>Hi, the character count for the pitzer supplement is 4000 characters, and that seems like a whole lot. That translate to about 2 pages on a word document, and I'm wondering if it is really necessary to write that much? How much other applicants write?</p>

<p>I am close to going over but that’s because I got super into the topic. I would make it at least around 500 if you can.</p>
