Supplement essay word count

<p>Is seven words too long for the supplement?</p>

<p>do you mean seven hundred?</p>

<p>yes 700. sorry. But now I got it down to 540. Is that too long?</p>

<p>540 should be fine. Mine was like…498. I’m sure they won’t mind reading an extra 40 words. as long as it’s interesting</p>

<p>ehh i would try to make it 500 or less</p>

<p>there is no specific word limit but around 500 words is a good target. Also, be sure to print preview your application before submitting it. Common App does cut off essays at some point. Usually 1-1.5 pages is good.</p>
