<p>How should I go about making the Vandy supplement interesting? It's a pretty general topic and suggests only 250 words. I'm a bit stuck here.</p>
<p>Not sure if you’re still looking for advice but I was just admitted on the ED I plan and my best advice would be to make sure it conveys something about you. Maybe something that isn’t explicit on the common app- just make sure it’s YOU and it’s YOUR VOICE.</p>
<p>That, and you can go a <em>little</em> over. An Adcom at Tufts said colleges don’t scrutinize word counts unless it’s very over the limit- for Vandy’s I was like 60-80 words over the limit (not that I would recommend it-- just saying it wasn’t a problem for me!)</p>
