<p>just finishing up my app... how long were your why gwu essays? it says less than 500 words and it is like 347... i did alot of research though so i think i should be okay, but i don't want it to look like i don't want to go there.</p>
<p>My essay was about 450 words. Remember, quality over quantity. They'll see that you did your research.</p>
<p>Mine is about 375, I just focus on the city and school of Internation Affairs</p>
<p>338 for me- i don't think doing research here would be such a great think dosen't say in the prompt not to quote their stats or be redundant with what they already know about their own diveristy, programs,etc.---- in my essay i related an experience that i had in DC to the school itself and why i want to go there- i'm applying to Elliot as well:)</p>
<p>mine was 499, cut out some adjectives</p>
<p>my sons was 564.... which was cut down dramatically. his first drafts were over 700</p>
<p>mine is 401 words</p>
<p>467...anybody willing to post theres once the deadline passes?</p>
<p>Yes, good idea alanstewart. I was dying to find out how other people answered it.</p>
