How long is your supplemental essay?

<p>I’m still working on mine, trying to cut it down. Mine is 683 words (yikes!). Did you like the essay topic? I thought it was hard to write a compelling essay but hopefully I’ll manage to pull it off…</p>

<p>Mine is about 550, but I still want to add to it. Honestly, I don’t like the question at all. I have written two paragraphs and the second paragraph is longer and it talks about why I love Bowdoin and what I’m looking for. I don’t know what to write about lol.</p>

<p>Mine was 750, but it reads fast. As long as your supp essay is interesting (and even funny) the Admissions Counselors won’t care.</p>

<p>Mine was 616 words but pretty quick also. Personally, I didn’t like the topic much–I felt that it was hard to write an interesting essay that showed part of my personality. My advice would be to approach the topic from a non-traditional angle. Like, don’t just say I took lots of AP classes and did well on my SAT/ACT and I am involved in certain organizations–maybe write something funny or witty and be sure that it’s memorable :)</p>

<p>one million words long</p>

<p>584, after being cut down from 650. I seriously can’t get rid of any more. I hope it’s not a huge deal.</p>

<p>390…eh, but I think I got the point across</p>

<p>im starting it right now. can u give me some advices?</p>
