<p>It gives you enough characters for practically 3 pages of material, yet the Princeton supplement claims something like, "Along with.... the 500 word common app..."</p>
<p>And I've heard others say that 600-700 is fine. And one guy said, as long as the essay is awesome, even 1500 is fine.</p>
<p>Thus, word limits that range from 500-1500. </p>
<p>Or should it just cover a page that is 12 font, single space, 1" top, bottom, left, right?</p>
<p>I don't know what to think. Help?</p>
