<p>How long is your Why Penn essay? I wasn’t sure how long to make mine because other schools have the same question as just a short answer, but it seemed like they wanted a full on essay. Mine ended up being 534 words. Is that more than they want?</p>
<p>perfect, just make sure its under one page. mine was like 20 more words than yours. just make sure everyword pulls its weight.(no clutter)</p>
<p>Um, would it be okay to use a story-type format, still under 550 words, but (because of dialogue) it takes up more than one page?</p>
<p>i dont know, doesnt it say on the directions to "keep it under one page" or something like taht? try to minimize the font size and use only tabs to signify changes in the story(structure)</p>
<p>That's what I was going to do. Thanks.</p>
<p>Mine was about 700 words, still one page though</p>
<p>Mine was a little bit less than one page.</p>
<p>I feel weird writing something long though, cus so many essays are capped at 500 words, so it's definitely weird to be able to have the whole page. I was actually happy with how much room there was because for the why columbia question I only had room for like 97 words.</p>
<p>it says 'do not exceed one sheet'. if it's extra long, try reducing margins and smaller font size. heh</p>
<p>good idea chidimma..!!</p>
