Many of my application require an essay with the prompt along the lines of, “Briefly elaborate on an extracurricular or work experience.”
Notice that there is no word limit. So, my question is, how long is too long? How brief is briefly? Right now, I am around 230 words.
i had the same prompt but i was allowed 100 words max
I found that common app cut me off at 150 for multiple schools without listed word limits. Just copy paste random 300 words in and it will tell you how many words you are over the limit, thus allowing you to deduce the limit.
