Common App Writing Supplement - SBU

<p>It says for applicants to the Scholars to the Medical School I have to write an essay saying why I like medicine and all of that typical college essay stuff, but it doesn't say anywhere how long it should be. I would typically write the usual 500 word essay but I really would like to get admitted and I don't want this to hinder my abilities to get in. Can someone please help me?! :)</p>

<p>I wrote a fairly long paper of about 5 pages double spaced and here I am. Be thorough, be expressive, and be complete.</p>
