<p>Well, I was just curious if someone knew how long the suggested length for the common app essay for stanford was. I know yale and such schools usually have 500, but stanford had differing lengths for all of their essay questions on the supplemental application so i do not know wat to think.</p>
<p>CommonApp is CommonApp, supplements are supplements. You send the same CommonApp essays to all schools (at least that is what happens when you do it via the Internet).</p>
<p>Limit any and all essays to 500 words or below (unless otherwise stated, and unless you are dealing with ridiculous prompts like those from UChicago). It really helps condense your message and make your essay appears deeper. That is the length I would go for.</p>
<p>ok ty DSI. I know u told me 500 about yale, but was wondering if stanford was different. ty</p>
