<p>hi does anyone know how long supplemental essays should be (there's no mention of length on the common app)</p>
<p>Around 250 words. It clearly says it on the UVA Supplement.</p>
<p>sorry i didn't make myself clear; i'm a transfer student </p>
<p>Required Essays for Transfer Applicants Only:
1. How do the possible career or professional plans you indicated on the Common Application relate to your planned course of study?</p>
<pre><code>* If you are applying to the College of Arts and Sciences and are undecided about your major, indicate your general area of interest.
* If you are applying to the Architecture, Commerce, Education, Engineering, or Nursing Schools, tell us why you have chosen this field and what experiences (work, internships, etc.) have prepared you for it.
* If you are applying to the Five-Year Teacher Education Program, indicate your academic major within the College of Arts and Sciences and your intended teaching area (e.g., elementary education, secondary education).
