<p>Hi, I'm sorry if this question has already been asked, but does anyone know the suggested word count for each of the essays? Most of the schools I've applied to have asked for one long and two short essays, is that what Vanderbilt wants too? Or should they all just be long enough to answer the question? My personal essay is 500-600 words depending on which version I send, it's really the other two I'm not sure about. Thanks!</p>
<p>vandy does require 3 essays: one long two short. My personal essay is 877 words my why vandy is 565 and my career interest is 301. Vandy doesnt have a word limit so I just wrote according to the topic importance IMO. Just keep in mind the admission ppl read thousands of essays you dont want to bore them with 3 freakingly long essays.</p>
