<p>I am almost done completing my app to Cornell (finally!) but i have one little question:
How long are your supplement essays?</p>
<p>I know that limit is 500 words, but do students usually write near that? less than that?</p>
<p>Please let me know! Thanks a bunch!</p>
<p>You should write as close to the 500 as possible, while still writing comfortably. In other words: don't force yourself to write a certain amount of words. Write what you would like to include, but with the goal of 500 words in mind.</p>
<p>500+/- 30 words</p>
<p>thank you! this really helps! =]</p>
