<p>so the supplemental essay on communities doesn't say how long they want the essay to be.
I know most college essays are around 500 words, but mine i currently 599 after 3 revisions.
Should I work to cut it down closer to 500?</p>
<p>mine was about 650...</p>
<p>if you can cut it down, do so, but i don't think they'll automatically reject you if you have a longer essay!</p>
<p>I'm sure you're fine grc061390</p>
<p>Sky's the limit, so long as you can command attention.</p>
<p>but the form kinda mentioned one sheet, is that supposed to be a hint for 'certain' word limit?</p>
<p>Within two pages of the pre-app they say "one sheet" on one page and "sheet(s)" on another, so I think it's basically as long as you need it to be without going overboard. Mine was two pages long, although I did the J-term essay, not the community one.</p>
