<p>Just curious. Mine is about 1700 characters long...I should add more info. </p>
<p>And how much do these why questions really matter?</p>
<p>i dont know about characters... mine was about 400 words long. about a page and a half, double spaced.</p>
<p>i did mostly y engineering (cuz im applying to pratt) than only a general vverry short blurb about y duke, i hope its ok....</p>
<p>i'm trying to submit the supplement online.. but it wont let me enter more than 1200 characters! even though the limit is 250 words.. did everyone else who submitted it through common app just cut it short to fit the 1200 characters?</p>
<p>Mine was 147 words (855 characters with spaces).</p>
<p>one and 1/4 of a page, double spaced... i think it was around 300, 400 words? maybe something in between?</p>
<p>Mine was 1225 characters (with spaces) and it all fits online...</p>
<p>Mine was 527 words, if you apply on-line they tell u that the word limit is 550 I think.</p>
<p>I attached the document using Duke's app and it was like half a page or so single spaced.</p>
<p>i had to kill my essay man
i cut it to 250 from 330 words :(
though i hope it turns out all 4 the best :)</p>
<p>Why did u cut? You could have had 550 words.</p>
<p>196 words...i'm concise (or stupid)</p>
<p>its 250 on cmmn app online...arhhhgggg..........
anyways its all done ?!?</p>
<p>A number of people I have talked to said that you're supposed to write about specific programs and stuff and not generic stuff, but I basically just stuck with the generic stuff ie: weather, bball.</p>
