<p>Exactly how long is this essay supposed to be?</p>
<p>bumppppppppp</p>
<p>i dont think it matters... i was accepted early as an engineering applicant and my essay was about 500 words... i had a paragraph on why i wanted to study engineering and my previous exposure, a paragraph on why i like princeton in general, and i closed with a paragraph on what attracted me to princeton engineering.</p>
