<p>Forgive my Spanglish! :D</p>
<p>Do you guys think 450 words is a solid length for the Yale Supplement essay (also to be submitted to Harvard)?</p>
<p>It's pretty definitive about keeping it under 500, but should I strive to get it as close to that limit as possible? Or am I safe?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>450 is perfect</p>
<p>Not too much, and definitely not too little.</p>
<p>You're in a great range</p>
<p>mmk, thanks!</p>
<p>Harvard? Le gasp! =o</p>
<p>Perfect. Close enough to the limit to provide sufficient detail, but not so long that the admissions officers won't want to finish reading it.</p>
