personal interest essay on common app????

<p>How many words should that essay be? I have 270 words; is that too much? Too little?</p>

<p>Both of my Vandy students wrote less than 1/2 page on this.</p>

<p>I'll never understand why you type 1/2 instead of half. Its only one extra keystroke.</p>

<p>ok good, and my "why Vandy" essay is only 117. is that ok? all of my other "why ____" essay have a 50 word limit, so i just assumed that this would be short too, but I heard someone else on CC was writing 500 words for the essay!!!</p>

<p>Just to busygirl...why waste your time with that extra keystroke if you don't have to? It's not like 1/2 is any less proper than half on a messageboard.</p>

<p>umm busygirl -- why would you waste the keystrokes to write that?? haha, gotcha!</p>

<p>bumpppp! can someone reply to my last question: ok good, and my "why Vandy" essay is only 117. is that ok? all of my other "why ____" essay have a 50 word limit, so i just assumed that this would be short too, but I heard someone else on CC was writing 500 words for the essay!!!</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>you're fine.</p>
