<p>Hi, I was wondering how many characters are available for the Supplement - I cannot find this information anywhere in the CommonApplication. Shall I write a page or is that too much?</p>
<p>And, also, I chose this topic
- Travel or living experiences in other countries</p>
<p>You think my exchange year abroad in Dominican Republic could represent an interesting essay? </p>
<p>(sorry for any mistakes, I'm Italian, and I'm really looking for anyone willing to help me!)</p>
<p>No limit, just don’t abuse it.</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>Whenever there’s no limit for an essay I try and keep mine around 500-600 words</p>
<p>^ I agree. I believe D’s was around 600.</p>
<p>Try to keep it around 500. That way you can use it for other schools which state a word limit.</p>
<p>I called the admissions office and they said that you could submit 3-4 essays maximum. I’m submitting 4 independent ‘research’ papers that I wrote in my spare time (I’m gonna be a philosophy major btw) to hopefully counteract not being in the top 10% of my class (11th % lol). But yea, just don’t do it.</p>
<p>motion12345, what do you mean ‘3-4 essays max’?
like, one essay telling the academic experience, the second like a list of books…?</p>
<p>haven’t you asked, whether we can combine the topics?</p>
<p>You can call the admissions office and ask. The guy who answered me said that he wouldn’t recommend putting more than 3 or 4 essays, and that was it. I would give you more info if I was sure that the info I would give you was right =/. I would recommend just calling the admissions office and asking.</p>
<p>Well, it’s kinda hard to do, since i’m in Europe. </p>
<p>Anyway, i think, if don’t find their e-mail, i’m gonna call.</p>
<p>For the topics, I thought the ‘possible topics’ were mere guidelines and that the essay was essentially free choice.</p>
<p>Done with it! 600 words. Anyone willing to read and help me? (I am an international student)</p>
<p>I can try to help you, if it isn’t too late</p>
<p>What’s this 3-4 essays? I thought you could only submit one supplement essay</p>
<p>^^Thank you so much! I would like to submit my application tomorrow, so you are still in time.</p>
<p>so we can have more than one supplemental essay?</p>
<p>My D2, a readaholic, had a ridiculously-long list of books she’d read for pleasure in the previous year that she included in the supplement a couple years ago. It maxed out the supplement block character limit, but it was four pages long printed out and just the last half-dozen or so titles didn’t fit.</p>
