<p>about how many words would be appropriate for the short answer question (the why emory one)? 200~250 words? more?
sorry, many people have probably asked this question already, but i can't find the answer.</p>
<p>another question, since i dont want to make another thead: does it make sense to call emory "multicultural"? does it have a diversity of students compared to other schools?</p>
<p>I doubt they really care that much.</p>
<p>At one of the info sessions I went to, somebody told us: "The length of the essay should be like a dress. It should be long enough to cover everything, but short enough to keep it interesting."</p>
<p>Try for no less than 200 words, no more than 500 or so.</p>
<p>i'd say around 250</p>
<p>a harvard hopeful applying to emory... interesting...</p>
