<p>i was wondering if anyone knows approximately how long the essays for part A (educational goals) and part B (autobiography) should be. Mine is 378 words but it only takes up 3/4ths of a page, which to me seems pretty short. Thanks.</p>
<p>Mine was about three pages double spaced, probably roughly 500 words. Some say longer, but both of my admission essays were the same length and I got in ED, so I figured to make the merit-based a similar length. I'd get that in if I were you, because it needs to be postmarked by Sunday.</p>
<p>Mine were two to three pages double spaced.</p>
<p>i got mine to 511 words, but it's not even 2 pages double-space</p>
<p>Um. the application says you must answer essay a OR essay b, not both, and with some of yuo saying "Mine were" it kind of gives the impression you did both. You had me worried for a minute.</p>
<p>I wrote about the biography selection and mine was about two pages, double spaced, about 630 words.</p>
<p>I did all four essays and had it in by December 1st.</p>
<p>does anyone know when they let people know if they got an interview? has that already happened?</p>
<p>For this year (ie: are you a junior or senior?)
I had my interview during the summer, I called before I visited the campus.</p>
<p>wait wait, four essays are only required if you were applying for Reynolds or Carswell, right?</p>
<p>Yes and those deadlines passed December 1, the deadline for the rest is January 1.</p>
<p>I mean an interview for the Reynolds or Carswell or any of the other scholarships.</p>
