Supplemental essay for commonapp....longgggggg

<p>How long does the 4 supplemental essay on the commonapp have to be? It says less than 750 words, so I'm assuming that it can't be too short, like 300 words short, either. Currently I have a mini essay at 500 words for the sunday one. Is it too long? Too short? How long do you think it should be? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>read close it says 750 characters with spaces. It wont allow you to do more than that if you're applying online. I ran into the same problem. I wrote long essays and wondered why only a short part would fit and than I realized it wasn't 750 words.</p>

<p>thx for the reply</p>
