<p>Hi,</p>
<p>In the Common Application, it says that the Personal Essay should be at least 250 words, and attached on a separate sheet (presumably, if you're submitting it online, you attach a one-page file). How many words, approximately, is this (you might have larger handwriting/text)? How long are most people's Personal Essays?</p>
<p>Thanks ^^.</p>
<p>A one page doubled space document on Word is between 350-500 words :)</p>
<p>i typed mine and it was about 1 1/2 pages</p>
<p>Cheers :). So it definitely shouldn’t be any longer than 750 words, then?</p>
<p>yea, that’s what they say. Try to keep it at 750 words max, adcoms will get bored if you go much longer than that. Mine was about 650 words. :)</p>
<p>Definitely keep your essay within their limits. Good luck!!</p>
<p>500 to 1000 is my suggestion</p>
