Hi,
Harvard has an optional supplemental essay section on Common App and they didn’t declare a word limit. How long do you think the supplemental essay should be. I wrote a bit over 700 words, is it too long?
It’s totally fine; mine was the same.
I tried to keep all of my essays with no specific word limit at about one page. From what I’ve researched, it’s helpful to keep these essays at or under one page to limit all the papers AOs have to flip through. If I were you, I would read through the essay a couple more times and see if there’s any condensing you can do to get it down to one page. At the end of the day, I don’t think it will make or break your application, just my two cents
