<p>How long does this essay have to be? I thought it was just supposed to be the length of the lines they provided you with, but I read another post saying it was supposed to be 500 characters. I am uber confused…</p>
<p>Online there's a 500 character limit, but if you're applying by paper it's probably a good idea to keep it to the designated space (unless you have a really good reason not to).</p>
<p>Just answer the question in however many words/characters/lines it takes you to answer it! It's NOT an essay. It requires a very short, straight-forward answer.</p>
<p>Woohoo! Thanks guys! I was pretty worried for awhile there, thinking I had to write yet ANOTHER college app essay...whew.</p>
<p>Don't make it more difficult than it has to be ;) People on CC are notorious for doing that.</p>
