<p>So, I'm procrastinating on my essays and I havn't finihsed them yet. yay! (sarcasm) (I'm planning on finishing them this weekend) well, anyway. I was just wondering how many words they should have on average. My Loomis form says 200-300 words but thats only for 1 essay. does anyone know about Taft or Exeter</p>

<p>I'm applying to Taft next year.... did you have the interviews yet???? Do you like the campus???</p>

3

<p>Yes, the interview was great, the head of admissions is really nice and far from dull. The campus is great too, not too big, not too small.</p>

<p>Exeter wants you to fit it (handwritten) on the space provided- front and back of the essay sheet, and then a typed copy. I assume that whatever you can fit will belong on there!
Andover wants 500 words or less.</p>

5

<p>I like Taft because it isn't too large, but has outstanding academics.</p>

6

<p>Ok, little update, I've written the final drafts of both my taft essays, one is 214 words, and the other 166, does that seem about right.</p>

7

<p>i think its a little short. average should be 400-450 words</p>

8

<p>for what school? that seems like a lot.</p>

9

<p>hmmm unless they say a word limit, it should always be around 400-450</p>

<p>Procrastination=story of my life.</p>

11

<p>hey, I applied to Taft too, and I decided to keep my essay on the short end, around 250 words.</p>

12

<p>I was writing essays for Andover, and I had 527 and 439 instead of 150, then 932 instead of 500. I’m working on shortening them.</p>
