<p>Anyone notice.... The common app supplemental says 850 characters which is about 130 words and the regular app says like 5 lines on their page which is like 75 words.
which one should we follow?</p>
<p>way to go MIT...:) some math involved there :) who cares...just write as much as you want....others got in here even when their essays were longer than 500 and when their short answers exceeded 5 lines or whatever...</p>
<p>but obviously it doesn't always work for i got a rejection letter :)</p>
<p>MIT - you should follow whichever application you are using. However, they aren't very strict about the word limit.</p>
<p>The people that got accepted... what application did you use and what was the word count?</p>
<p>I used the NYU app. Mine were 85, 95, 65 and 64. I got in. I wrote super tiny for it, though.</p>
<p>anyone else...</p>
<p>my suplements all fit iwthin 5 lines, they were rather choppy senetences and many word errors because i didnt feel like checking it over, my essay exceeded 900 words.</p>
