<p>So I don't know if there are many of you on here...but I'll ask anyways!</p>

<p>So as I'm slaving away on my "Why Emory" essay, I was thinking about something. Do you think it's "better" to write about ONE specific thing in detail or mention many reasons. There are tonsss of reasons why I think Emory is the perfect match for me, and while I could just simply write one-two sentences about each, I could also probably go into depth about one or two.</p>

<p>I'm probably just going to keep it how it is (writing about a few things rather than one in depth) but I was just wondering what you guys thought/did.</p>

2

<p>write one or two in depth</p>

<p>Although mine is on a few things as well, I spoke with an admissions counselor and she told me writing on 1 or 2 things indepthly would be best. I just didnt change mine because the way I set up my "Why Emory" wouldnt sound right with just 2. But to answer your question, the admission counselors prefer 1 or 2 indepth.</p>

4

<p>two or three in depth.</p>

5

<p>about how long should it be?</p>

<p>nevermind. i just found the answer in another thread.</p>
