number 16 on the supplement...

<p>this section asks you to explain why you are applying to a particular school of study.
does anyone know how long they expect this section to be?
Is it another 500 word essay?</p>

<p>It can be however long you like. (500 words seem like a lot for this kind of essay. A shorter one will do)</p>

<p>you can have whatever you like i said you can have whatever you like yeah</p>

<p>i wrote roughly 281 words</p>

<p>i was just going to ask this too! i wanted to use my UC essay but its like a story more than a response</p>

<p>I wrote like 440... It was pretty long but I needed to get my point across. It worked fine.</p>

<p>I wrote a little over 200, got in ED.</p>

<p>is it supposed to be an "essay" or can you just kinda tell them in a few sentences. I wrote 104 words. I could make it more essayish but I thought that they just wanted you to tell them why.</p>

<p>lazydog, i guess it depends on your definition of an essay. Don't over think it. Just answer the question.</p>

<p>cool, thanks</p>

<p>i just told them what I wanted to major in and what I was especially interested in studying within that major. I said that I could see myself pursuing a seconds major in x or y department, but I really wanted to pursue that because (blank).</p>

<p>I guess that's enough right?</p>
