<p>the Why Smith supplemental essay? It says limit to 100 words, but I know that I could write so much more regarding my reasons for wanting to attend the college.</p>
<p>Keep it within the word limit. Not only does it show you can follow directions, but the admissions officers already have to read A LOT of stuff. If you write a bunch more, they'll probably get annoyed and won't neccessarily read it. It's not that they don't care, but they're overworked and over-reading to get all the applications dealt with, so do yourself a favor and stay within the boundaries.</p>
<p>thanks, SmithieandProud. :)</p>
