How to write a 500 CHARACTER supplement? Would appreciate any insight!

Hi everyone,

I need to write a 500 character (roughly 85 word) supplement on how the school I’m applying to will meet my academic needs.

I am having the hardest time. It’s certainly the shortest essay I’ve had to write, and I have no idea how to structure it (how do I write an intro/body/conclusion for an essay so short? How much explaining do I do?).

I could really use any insight, as I’ve been at this for the past few hours and am getting absolutely nowhere although I have much I want to talk about (I suppose that’s my problem!). Thank you!

Forget about structure. Think about one thing that really makes you want to go to this school and write it down succinctly. Then count characters and see if you have room to add anything.

Just try to write your thoughts about that in a draft and after that you’ll be able to structure it. I had the same issues with essays when I was in school and I always used [url=<a href=“https://writemyessayonline.com/do-my-assignment.html%5DWriteMyEssayOnline%5B/url”>https://writemyessayonline.com/do-my-assignment.html]WriteMyEssayOnline[/url]. I didn’t buy anything but professional essays helped me with a structure. Good luck !

@dana99x There were some good tips in this thread: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/2102461-short-answer-essay-questions-how-p1.html

For a similar prompt I looked through the school’s course catalog until I found a unique one I was interested in and mentioned that.

Is this legal? Ethical?

Is this real??!!

“…how do I write an intro/body/conclusion for an essay so short?” Ahh, you’re mistaking this task with the expectations of high school teachers.

You need to clear your mind and answer two questions: What do I want to try in college? And, how will I meet this, at this college? Then count. Then add relevant wording. (The specific thought questions may change, but you get the idea.)

But, these colleges are rarely asking for just a “point and shoot.” They usually look for the rest of what comes through: some intellectual curiosity, openness, more than just what preps you for a career, etc. And your knowledge of what the college offers (again, not just courses.)
