<p>It doesnt say that we have to do one or three.</p>

<p>You need to submit three essays.</p>

<p>one 500 word essay and two 250 word essays</p>

<p>one 500-word essay and ONE 250-word essay (it's bold printed on the application)</p>

<p>stevenlee, you may be looking someplace different from me. </p>

<p>On the personal information page where I'm reading it asks for the following regarding essays:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>All first year candidates must apply to one of the four colleges and answer the question prompt for that school in roughly 250 words.</p></li>
<li><p>Answer one of the following questions in approx. 250 words.</p></li>
<li><p>500 word essay on topic of your choice.</p></li>
</ol>
