<p>Hi everyone, a quick question:</p>
<p>I'm thinking about applying to the Huntsman Program at Wharton, and the supplement prompt is </p>
<p>"Discuss a current international issue that demonstrates how international affairs and business intersect".</p>
<p>There is no specified word limit or recommended essay length - what do you think is a good length, and how long were successful past essays? 500 words? 3 pages?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>They say "one page."</p>
<p><em>shrug</em></p>
<p>I've looked everywhere, though, and it doesn't specify a length for the Huntsman essay anywhere.</p>
<p>I'd say go with the standard one-pager.</p>
<p>thanks for your help!</p>
<p>yep, mine was 1 page... and 590 words. and i got in, so i think one page is perfectly fine. I don't think fluff is the answer for this essay. Just find a point you want to make and make it.</p>
<p>They've got tons of applicants and tons of essays to read. The last thing they want is to have to read a novel. Keep it short and simple and make your point as clearly as possible.</p>
<p>Haha my essay for LSM was 785 words, but it fit onto one page in the online application. It was about 1.5 pages in Word.</p>
<p>whew - I'm relieved. I could have written a long essay for my topic though. :) thanks for the replies!</p>
<p>we don't have to relate it to ourselves and why we chose the Huntsman right? it isn't like the usual application essays?</p>
<p>um... i didn't. but i don't think it would hurt if you did.</p>
<p>err I wrote 947 words...</p>
<p>Hey Lavenderjade, do you think you could give me some tips on writing a good essay for the Huntsman program?..since you were accepted. I’d really appreciate any help^_^(If you prefer, you can write to my email)</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
