<p>There was no suggestion for the length of the essay on the UR supplement to the common app. My common app essay was around 560 words, but I'm afraid my UR essay was too short. Does admissions read both essays? I really liked my common app essay, but I had difficulty getting into the prompts for the supplement essay.</p>
<p>when i visited admissions said about 2 pages double spaced for the supplement</p>

<p>There isn't a specified length for the UR essay, but yes, we look closely at it and most of the time it is more helpful to us than the common app essay just because their prompts are so incredibly vague. I would stay shorter than 2 pages but it ought to be at least a full page long. Less than that and I think it would be hard to have responded thoroughly to the UR prompt. Whatever you do, I would try to get it in the mail soon and stop worrying about it. I know, that's easy for me to say!</p>
