<p>be as concise as possible, they just whant to know if you wasted your time eating chips and watching soaps (bad food and bad acting, yuck! :) )or did nomething productive or interesting. mine where two short paragraphs about 4-5 sentances on each summer.</p>

3

<p>so 300 words maybe?</p>

4

<p>Mine's kinda long, mainly since I kinda-sorta didn't do a ton one summer, and was hoping to make up for it by going into detail on my insanely time consuming job the next summer.</p>

5

<p>Mine was 200 words.</p>

6

<p>I think 300 words is good at least that's how long mine was.</p>

7

<p>In the Common App Supplement, they give the limit of 1500 chars. Let's say, if one average word is 5 chars, then you can write up to 300 words.</p>

<p>But can't you continue your summer activities in the additional information section? They never put a length limit on this description anyway.</p>
