<p>Does anyone know how long/short the Why Northwestern Essay can be?
The CommonApp does not clearly state it within the supplement and I have almost 400 words right now... :/</p>
<p>There is no specified limit. Mine was 660, but as long as you keep it reasonable (under 2 pages, preferably under 1), you should be fine.</p>
<p>400 is fine.</p>
<p>I was accepted with 700 words formatted to one page</p>
<p>I have 250 words, and no idea what else to talk about…</p>
<p>All I’ve talked about so far is the quarter system and how professors teach the classes, not TAs.</p>
<p>What else is there?</p>
<p>lol actually some TAs teach classes.</p>
<p>well in your essays you want to give them a reason to admitt you. So what you can provide the school is something everyone should touch on.</p>
