<p>I have been looking at threads on here for a while, but most of them had been from years ago because they have been linked from google. Therefore, I was just wondering because i sent in my common app today to all my colleges, there is no limit to the length of it, correct?</p>
<p>There is no length limit, but keep in mind that the admissions officers reads thousands of applications and their essays, so you don’t want it to be too long</p>
<p>I’ve heard of incidents when adcoms have simply skipped or very quickly skimmed the essay simply because it was so long! Try to keep it under 1000 words. Keep in mind that quantity isn’t quality, especially in this case.</p>
