<p>I wrote a page and a half... and I just read the fine print and it says they want 1-2 paragraphs! I don't feel like there's anything I can cut out from my essay, and I'm nervous that it will tick off the admissions people. Does anyone have any experience with this? Accepted students - how long was your why Chicago? Please get back to me by tonight if possible!
Thanks so much for your help</p>
<p>If it’s good, the length is irrelevant. For examples of how long past applicants’ Why Chicago essays have been, refer to the [Post</a> Your Essay]( <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/164537-post-your-essay.html]Post”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/164537-post-your-essay.html) thread.</p>
