<p>I was writing my essays thinking you're supposed to have one 200 words, another at 200 words, and another at no more than 600 words for a max word count of around 1000, but then my friend suddenly IMed me with this:</p>
<p>You must respond to three short-answer questions using a total of 1,000 words. Limit two of your answers to approx. 200 words each. Give one question an extended answer of at least 600 words. You may choose which question to answer at more length."</p>
<p>So...this seems a bit contradictory and confuses me so now I'm a bit worried. And if that were the case, wouldn't the adcoms be receiving essays upwards of 35 pages that they wouldn't have the time for. yeah so what's up omg help thx.</p>
