<p>Sorry, I know this is the hundredth thread about the supplementary essay, but I'm a needy, clueless applicant who would really appreciate the help. So, are we limited to the paper they gave us, or can we send in a typed copy? Mine isn't hecka long; right now it's a bit less than a page typed.</p>
<p>i think that's fine. i'm pretty sure they gave us that sheet just so that we wouldn't write two thousand word essays and swamp them, but if your's is bit less than a page typed, I'm guessing its a around 500-650 words, which is definitely reasonable.</p>
<p>If you wanted to go even further (and write the page and a third that I did), I don't think they really will mind - it must not have counted enough against me to reject or defer me.</p>
<p>thanks guys! anyone else want to offer their $.02?</p>
<p>Make it long enough to cover the question, show why and how you fit the Swat ethos. Should take about a page if you are not redundant.</p>
