<p>How long should the "Elaborate on an extra curricular activity....." essay be? It doesn't say a range for word limit on the application. Thanks!</p>
<p>I believe it should be no more than 1000 characters.</p>
<p>It will not let you write anything over 150 words.</p>
<p>It cuts you off at 150 words, so keep it short.</p>
<p>So, you mean no more than 150 words? maybe 850?</p>
<p>Because in second one you haven’t got limitation</p>
<p>How strict is the word limit? Will the Common App form cut you off after 150 words?</p>
<p>The Common App persinal statement cuts you off after the 650th word, the Harvard essay about an Extracurricular Acivity cuts you off after the 150th word. Harvard’s optional supplemental essay does not have a word limit, but keep in mind that an admissions officer only has 10 to 15 minutes to review your file, so the more you write in the supplemental essay, the more the resder will have to skim your file.</p>
