<p>I wrote a very short but really good personal statement. The word count is 274. I also wrote a supplement essay that is almost 500 words. It's even better than the common app. essay. Will it hurt me?</p>
<p>no why would they if they were really good?</p>
<p>Because all applicants' personal statements are longer than mine.</p>
<p>the strongest writers are those who can say the most in the fewest words....</p>
<p>I repeat. No why would they if they were really good? QUALITY not QUANTITY</p>
