How long are your supplemental essays?

<p>I’ve been working on them on the Common App and was wondering about my responses. Is it okay if you have two paragraphs that in total equal about 200 words?</p>

<p>Mine were all only one paragraph; it says “limit to a well-developed paragraph” or something so unless yours really need to be two paragraphs, I’d keep it to one. It’s probably fine, though.</p>

<p>One of my supplements is also like that. I very much doubt that it matters; sometimes thoughts just have to be broken up, and it would negatively affect the quality to follow the requirements so stringently. If they’re around two hundred words together, I’m sure it’s okay.</p>
