<p>how long in word or characters should this essay be???
mine is about 250 words/1400 characters but it looks really tiny when i preview it on the common app website
also, would i still be able to get an interview if i submitted my app on monday or tuesday instead of the 10th because i need my guidance counselor to go over my app before i submit it?</p>
<p>you just need to submit the supplement by december 10</p>
<p>I think online there is a limit, but last year I applied with paper. I think I filled the box (it was probably near 400 words).</p>
