<p>How long should the engineering supplement essay be? It just says "write a brief essay". I already looked on FAQs and there isn't any mention of it. If mine is around 500 words, is that brief enough? What is everybody else doing?</p>
<p>Our kiddo is writing one as well–I would guess no more than 500 words. The shorter and more concise the better. If you call the admissions office–please post what they say.</p>
