<p>It says a page long, but how long is that in reality? Single-spaced in a word processor? Thats over 700 words. I have a feeling that that is too long. I dont know if I can write an essay that long and keep it good and interesting throughout. Does anyone know of a word limit? Thank you.</p>
<p>I personaly like my essays short and sweet. Mine will be around 300-500 words, but most likely 300-400.</p>
<p>how do you make the essay interesting to begin with? "why do you want this major?" its fun...</p>
<p>I know. I love biology because....I just love it. It's something I'm good at. And anything I'm good at I LOVE TO DO! </p>
<p>ARGH to Carnegie Mellon</p>
<p>Ahaha, I was in the same position! "I just... like physics! I want to major in it because I get excited when I do it and find it to be a pleasurable activity."</p>
<p>...</p>

<p>Still trying to finish it up. It'll probably be around 300-400 words - I do not think they are looking for a doctoral dissertation from a high school student.</p>
