<p>Hello,
It is possible to submit a supplementary essay to Harvard. Does the 250-500 word limit also apply to it?
Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, through the Harvard Supplement to the Common App.</p>

<p>No word limit is specified on the supplement. My 601-word-long supplementary essay went through just fine.</p>
<p>For the supplementary essay, there is no suggested word limit. My advice is always the shorter the better. If you are going to make it over 750, make sure someone would WANT (really, really want) to read to the end!</p>
<p>I guess around 550 should be fine then.</p>
<p>I think one page single-spaced is an appropriate guideline.</p>
