<p>I made an account for Gates, but I can't seem to find the essay questions. I clicked on the essay section but its just to upload. Who knows the 2012-2013 gates essays? And how long does each essay have to be? Thanks.</p>
<p>they don’t necessarily have to be a certain length. They allow up to 1000 words, but I have seen winning essays that ranged from 600-700 words. I still need to do my essays…having a hard time with college stuff and school.</p>
<p>When you log into your application, there is a tab for essays, and there are 8 different essay questions. It took me a while to finish them all because I really had to think about some of the questions, while others came easily. Just a hint - copy and save each essay that you submit, because you might be able to use it for another scholarship. Most of my essays were less than 500 words.</p>
