<p>Is 890 words too much for a supplemental essay? Or does it not matter as long as it gets the point across?</p>
<p>I'll post it or pm it if you want.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>post it..but hey its done on paper..as long as it isnt boring..i see nothing wrong with it..</p>
<p>I'de say that if it's longer than a page it's too long.</p>
<p>mine was 500 words..</p>
<p>one of the college guidebooks said application process also measures one's ability to follow instructions (for example, "list IN ORDER OF YOUR INTEREST your ec's") and i think that's true for essay. Wash U admission officer said don't go over 10% of the limit....</p>
<p>hmm i doubt that..because many of the individuals who got into harvard wrote like 850 word essays when the common app said to write the most 500 words..</p>
<p>and is there a specified word limit? I didn't see one? I'm not talknig about the common app one, rather the moral dilemma one.</p>
<p>yes the common app did have a word limit which was 250 to 500</p>
<p>no no no, not the common app one, the required Middlebury suppemental essay.</p>
<p>I didn't see a limit for the supp essay.</p>
<p>890 is no problem if the essay flows. Use as many words as you need to get your message across.</p>
<p>Thanks for al lthe help :-). Does anyone know if I can jsut send my supplemental essay in by itself- I;ve already sent in the common-app and pre-app supplement, but not the supplemental essay, and where shoudl I send it to? The Admissinos office?</p>
<p>i wonder if ihave everything..it was just the common app the values essay and the graded essay and like some other sheet right?</p>
