Georgetown Essays

<p>About how long (in words) should Georgetown essays be?</p>

<p>the application says approx 1 page. Single spaced times new roman 12 font=between 500-800 words should be okay.</p>

<p>And the Short Essay?</p>

<p>My guess is between 300-500</p>

<p>^Thank you so much!!</p>

<p>Have you applied to Gtown yet?</p>

<p>Nope. As we speak I'm working on my rough draft for essay 1. Still am not sure about essay 2 yet. It's frustrating because I don't know if what I'm writing is good enough.</p>

<p>Have you applied anywhere else? If so, you could always recycle essays.</p>

<p>Yeah, I've used ideas and excerpts from my commonapp essay(s). I'm not so much worried about content as much as if it's a problem I'm not writing like Shakespeare or Milton or (insert any other famous writer here)</p>

<p>gtwnlvr016 - I think that as long as the writing is good and unique, you'll be fine. Obviously they're looking for good writing ability, but they're also looking for who YOU are - your personality. As long as that shines through, you'll be ok (I hope!). Besides, I wrote the SFS essay, and that's more straightforward; it's less personal. I'm not sure what the other prompts are, but I think it's easier to write well when it's like the common app and you have free reign. Just my lowly opinion haha.</p>

<p>What are the essays because I can't open it with my internet.
Could you please copy and past them, thanks.</p>

<p>ALL please:)</p>

<p>How do I write Essay 2 for the College if I am applying Undeclared?</p>

<p>for essay 2, do u think the “b/c of <em>__experience, i got interested/am passionate abt </em>” approach is okay, or is that too typical and boring?
Do you think telling those moving, humanistic stories will also do?</p>
