<p>Does anyone know the maximum word count for the supplemental essays?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

2

<p>1800 characters.</p>

3

<p>To be more specific, 1800 comes out at about 300 words. :)</p>

4

<p>The average word is 5 letters + 1 for the space.</p>

<p>So 1800/6 = 300 words.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>thanks you guys!</p>

<p>What’s the word limit for the main common application essay?</p>

6

<p>There’s no hard and fast limit, but generally people say 500 is best, 700 is okay, and 1000 is really pushing it. Haha. :slight_smile:
Good luck!</p>
