<p>How long should this essay be? If you've already written it, how long did yours come out to be? Mine's hovering around 500 words. Is this too long?</p>
<p>I remember mine was around a page double spaced...maybe a bit less.</p>
<p>i was wondering the same thing... since mine is about 450 words (about a page & 1/2 double spaced!) I know that it says keep it one to two paragraphs, but thats all</p>
<p>are you guys all double spacing your essays? i know its easier to read that way, but i've always thought that single space just looked so much better.</p>
<p>Mine ended up being one page double spaced - doesn't the instructions specify double-space?</p>
<p>good call...</p>
<p>i just checked the online app .. & it says 250 words!</p>
<p>Yeah when I did mine, it was hand-written and probably only about 100 words, maybe less. I didn't even have anything good to say. It's really not that important in the whole scheme of things.</p>
<p>hey guys, the limit for me said 250 words so i wrote 251</p>
<p>I wrote 261</p>
<p>hmmm...I didn't even count mine</p>
<p>I wrote about 600 words and 4 paragraphs but each a different and specific paragraph to why I wanted to go to duke rather than some fluff about how I will be the biggest basketball fan at Duke.</p>
