<p>How long should the “why penn” essay be? I figured the other essay should be about a page, and the short essays should be about a half page. </p>
<p>how long were yours?</p>
<p>my page 217 was exactly one page</p>
<p>my why penn was exactly one page</p>
<p>yes, keep it to a page. they said.. keep it to a page.</p>
<p>what short essays? oh those.. hahah.. ur not doing it online? they have a limit</p>
<p>The "short essays" are limited to 300 characters--like 1 or 2 sentences, and the damn website DOES NOT let you go 1 CHARACTER over.</p>
<p>yeah. that was like GRRR

<p>yeh seriously. we're all screwed. as nice as we'd like to think it. not all of us are getting in. ok so maybe choco and anon and some other kids are getting in. but wth. we can'ta ll get in. and who's to say me over you, or you over me.</p>
<p>yeah, really. well maybe in 10 yrs we'll see that the rejected ones have come out less stressed and more "successful" than penn-ers... =D</p>
