<p>How long are the supplemental essays (Why Lehigh and the "respect" essay) supposed to be? The online version doesn't specify. How much room is available for the paper version?</p>
<p>I believe they are 750 characters, including spaces. Like the monkey that got its tail caught in the window fan ... not long.</p>
<p>yeah i have the same question...are they just supposed to be about a paragraph? or several like an essay? Cuz it says short answer so I'm guessing they don't have to be actual essays</p>
<p>I would say a paragraph or two. They don't have to be five paragraph essays. I went with a paragraph and was accepted. It is more about the quality. Good luck</p>
<p>I actually wrote an essay for the first one and then a short response (I believe it was two paragraphs) for the second.</p>
<p>Both of my responses were pretty short. A few paragraphs each I thinik.</p>
<p>I did the same as saund3r5, I wrote an actual essay for the first one and a couple paragraphs for the second</p>
