New Essay word averages?

<p>I realize that this year's money in the pocket essay has been changed to be about a community which defines our lives. Is the typical word count for this still 750-1000?</p>

<p>its actually 2500-3000 :)</p>

<p>yes i think its still 750-1000</p>

<p>As is our traditional policy we do not set word limits for the JHU essays. Additionally, we do not set suggested lengths. There are no official word limits or word count suggestions. </p>

<p>I'd say that the first creative essay ("communities essay") will traditionally be between 750 - 1000 words when written. Remember you can present this essay in any format, using any medium, you want. </p>

<p>The second academic essay ("majors essay") is expected to be shorter and probably will run between 250-500 words. But as with the first essay, it is your choice how long / how short you want your essays to be.</p>
