How long should the supplement essay be? Whats a good range?
Mine was about 3/4 of a page, single-spaced. A bunch of my friends just didn’t do it, still got in. Up to you. Anything longer than 650 words and the readers’ eyes would probably start glazing over, if not before then.
I would say somewhere between 500 and 1,000 words.
800 should probably be the max, but definitely not more than 1,000. Fewer than 500 seems like you just didn’t want to put a lot of effort into it; more than 750 seems like you were starting to go a bit overboard.
I think short is fine. Even one paragraph. Long is probably not a good idea. One page double spaced would be a good limit in my view.
Thanks guys
