<p>I'm applying to Duke as a junior transfer. This is its transfer essay question:</p>

<p>(For Transfer Applicants Only) If you want to transfer to Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, please discuss why you consider Duke a good match for you. Is there something in particular at Duke that attracts you? If you want to transfer to the Pratt School of Engineering, please be sure to answer both the questions above.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how long it should? (# of words or pages)</p>

<p>How long are transfer essays usually?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>The long essay on the freshman common app is supposed to be about 500 words. I wouldn’t (and didn’t) write any essay longer than a page single spaced. Longer isn’t necessarily better here-- you want to get your point across without your reader wondering when the essay will be over.</p>
