Harvard Essay

Hi everyone,

For the optional essay, approx how long should the maximum be? 1 page or 2? I wanted to talk about how I was going to become a doctor because of my parents and how I was so close, I was literally volunteering at the hospital, took my university course on health and such and I was going to do it because I didn’t know what I wanted to be but now I know I want to do Math. Any thoughts on my essay idea?

I’m sending my 650 word Princeton essay to Harvard so I hope there’s no word or page limit

There’s no limit but I would say it should be about the same length as your common app essay (450-650 words, one page max)

Hahaha! I ended up using my Princeton essay as well! Just added a little more to it when submitting to Harvard. Finished 20 minutes before the deadline, do not know how I feel about it LOL got to wait and see
