<p>If I am doing the common app, and thus only writing the second essay about 1 or 2 majors, what length should it be? It doesn't say anywhere on the supplement</p>

<p>"As is our traditional policy we do not set word limits for the JHU essays. Additionally, we do not set suggested lengths. There are no official word limits or word count suggestions.</p>

<p>I'd say that the first creative essay ("communities essay") will traditionally be between 750 - 1000 words when written. Remember you can present this essay in any format, using any medium, you want.</p>

<p>The second academic essay ("majors essay") is expected to be shorter and probably will run between 250-500 words. But as with the first essay, it is your choice how long / how short you want your essays to be. (Daniel, 2007)"</p>
