Length of essays for Penn's joint programs?

<p>The application instructions don't seem to specify a length (pages or word count) for the essays for Huntsman, M&T, LSM, etc.
For LSM, especially, and the instructions say give detail as to how you got interested in science and management, so I'm assuming it's allowed to go over a page, right?</p>

<p>Any idea?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>no, under a page</p>

<p>yup, keep it under a page, single-spaced. you don't want to force anybody to read a thesis :)</p>

<p>think about it this way: if you can't completely explain why you want to be in the program in a page, then you need to process your thoughts some more</p>

<p>I've read Huntsman essays that are around a page and half. You're not really explaining why you want to be in the program, but some issue, which takes up more words</p>
