How long were your UT Austin essays?

<p>Apply Texas says 120 eighty-character lines of text, but is that how long your essay actually?<br>
I have an essay that is around 700 words.
Thanks </p>

<p>Essay B was around 550, Essay C was about 650. Hope that helps!</p>

<p>Thanks! </p>

<p>Essay C: 617
Essay B: 584</p>

<p>ya 120 eighty character lines is very very long. They just put that limit in there so somebody doesn’t write a novel for their essays. The person reading your essay will not want to read an essay that is way too long so I would say keep it around 500-700 words. Just try to get to the point quickly and don’t add any unnecessary stuff. Good luck on getting into UT! It is one of my top two colleges that I am applying to this fall and I really want to get in.</p>
