<p>What is the word limit to the supplement question of Northwestern guys? It doesn't say anything on the commonapp, so I'm a little bit confused...</p>
<p>Doesn't have one, but don't get too lengthy. Obviously, try not to be too short either.</p>
<p>:) like my teacher always says... A good essay is like a skirt... Long enough to cover the necessities but short enough to keep it interesting!</p>
<p>^^ I like that haha. Apparently the limit is 500 words? But since it doesn't specify I'd say anything up to 800 words goes. Just keep in mind they have ALOT of them to read, so if it flows awesome, if it seems too long just cut out stuff that doesn't have too much of an impact.</p>
<p>mine is 550 so far, do you think that's fine?</p>
<p>I'm sure that'll be fine. :) Mine's a bit on the long side- 750...</p>
<p>i would say it can be anywhere from 250 words to about 750 words, depending on what all you say</p>
<p>my essay is 509 words long</p>
