What is the word or character limit for Why Columbia and Why Engineering Essays?

<p>?
I haven't gotten to part II of the application yet. </p>

<p>Also, what is the limit for the "single most important EC" blurb?</p>

<p>Hmm think the first two are 500 characters… maybe 300, can’t remember. It ended up being about 70ish words for me. Whatever the limit is, you’re going to find you have too little space to write about stuff, not too much.</p>

<p>ha! I love Algernon!</p>

<p>and thanks</p>

<p>Anyone know for sure?</p>

<p>This question has been asked many times on the board. do a search please</p>

<p>Didn’t find anything for the EC blurb…</p>
