<p>What's the suggested word limit for the Why UChicago essay? I know the creative essay is 500 words and the optional one is 250 words but I'm not sure of the word limit for the Why UChicago essay.</p>

<p>“We require essays of no more than 500 words for the “why Chicago” and “favorite things” essay, and do not have a strict word limit for the extended essay; I tend to suggest an essay of 1-2 pages (single or double spaced; 1 page double spaced is a bit short, while 2 pages single spaced is on the longer side) for that essay.”</p>
