<p>How long should it be?
Mine is a little over half a page single spaced but I'm worried that it should be longer...</p>
<p>I thought there is a character limit? Like 1000 or something... :D</p>
<p>NU has said that the 1000 character limit is a mistake and to just import your essay through the upload feature. There is no given maximum length, but it shouldn't be longer than 500 words at the very most. If possible, make it around 300 or 350.</p>
<p>Omg, good thing i see this today. :D</p>
<p>do you think 550 words is too long?</p>
<p>As long as it comes within a page its fine...</p>
<p>My essay was less than 500 words yet it was continually denied :(</p>
<p>1000 characters</p>
<p>like 200 words probably or less.</p>
<p>tis the the fool that seeks length - the truly wise seek depth.</p>
<p>jonthelin- haha I like.</p>
<p>But we’re going to NU to LEARN how to be wise.</p>
<p>I applied Early Decision to Northwestern and my supplement essay was the same prompt and mine was around 700 words</p>
<p>that length of the essay isnt that important, its the quality. If it takes 350 words to say what your trying to say with utmost clarity and imagery then good, but if it takes 700 or 800 do that.</p>
