Hi there! I’m looking to apply to UCF, but I have a question about the essay. I know what the questions are, but I’m confused on how many essays I am supposed to write. The “instructions” say that I am writing an essay, but then they say that my responses should be 500 words or less. Should I respond to two questions in one essay that is around 500 words total or respond to each question separately in two essays that are each 500 words, making the total 1000 words? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks so much!
It would be 2 separate essays, each being 500 words. However, if I remember correctly, that is not the actual essay. Those are just short essay type answers which are optional. I believe there is an option somewhere for your long college essay.
I ended writing everything and was quite surprised at the length of my application lol
Good Luck!
I have the same question, however, no it is not two essays each being 500 words since the instructions say that the responses should TOTAL 500 words and there is also no other place in the application for a long essay. I’m starting to think UCF is using vague wording so as not to specify wanting either and that it’s ok to submit either one long essay or two short ones.
