<p>If you are doing engineering, the application asks:</p>
<p>Brown offers programs in Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Materials and Mechanical Engineering. Because there is a common core curriculum within Engineering, students need not select a specific are until their junior year. We are curious, however, as to whether any particular program within Engineering presently appeals to you. Please discuss that choice if you have one. </p>
<p>The text box in the online application has room, they say, for 3500 characters. I think that probably around 500-600 words. Do they really expect that many? What length is a good length for the essay?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
