<p>Is 250 words the max or min? The supplement says to write at most 1 page and then (250 words) in parentheses and I wrote about 3/4 of a page, but it is about 390 words.</p>

<p>Where does it say 250 words? Copied from CommonApp:</p>

<p>Answer the essay on a separate sheet of paper. Your essay should be one page in length (approximately 500 words). (Applicants to the Market and Social Systems Engineering major should skip this question and only answer the program-specific essay question in the Program-Specific section.)</p>

<p>The max is a page, which roughly correlates to about 500 words. If you can fit more than that on the page - like I did - then that’s fine. But, 390 words is perfectly fine :slight_smile: Good luck!</p>
