<p>Is it really a big deal that we keep the supplemental essay under a page? (I guess this applies not just for harvard) My current essay is not that long in words (~650) but it goes over by around 10 lines. Does this really annoy admission officers or does it not matter that much? thanks. </p>
<p>It does not matter at all. Harvard’s supplement really has no restrictions, so feel free to do whatever you want within reason. My supplement was 2 full pages, 1.5 spaced. </p>
<p>Mine was like 750… They don’t care, just make it interesting!</p>
