<p>IvYs ask mention your interest and write why you think that college/university is my best match.
Well if I have to write the whole supplement in 500 words, how much of that requires the description the college.</p>
<p>e.g. cornell says your describe engineering idea and why cornell? 500 words limit.
is it interest - 400 words 100 words why cornell,
or is it interest- 300 words and 200 words why cornell.
Which one is better?
Please at least estimate. around how much percentage should be description of college: 10/20/30/40/50/60.</p>
<p>Desperately in need.

<p>You’re applying to the Ivies, so you’re probably intelligent enough to decide that for yourself. There is no set format for any of these essays. Write what you think is right.</p>
<p>I would go 200 on the interest and 300 on the college. It should focus on why that particular school is the best for you so I think it should talk more about the school</p>
<p>i would think more on interest and less on college. the college already know that is prestigious and highly ranked, flattery wont work. On the other hand, talking abt ur interest tells them u r motivated and passionate in your field and is likely to do well and contribute to college</p>
<p>Just remember that if you are putting your supplement answers into the Comm App supplement section you may not be able to use the full number of words. The count is based on number of characters and spaces. We’re finding that a 100 word essay is about 499 characters including spaces and punctuation which at times is only about 75 words depending on the size of the words you choose. Unfortunately, this is not the time to roll-out you best SAT vocabulary!</p>
