<p>What is the appropriate length of the "Why Yale" essay? Is 200-300 words appropriate or does that seem too short?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Uh. It says please limit to the space provided. So good luck fitting 200 words in that tiny little box.</p>
<p>I just typed my name (five letters) into the box as many times as it would fit. It went in 84 times so I would try to keep your response to around that many words.</p>
<p>200-300 words is not happening.</p>
<p>I think it's limited to 500 characters if I figured correctly. I'd check just to make sure. It'll take some tweaking, but I'm sure it'll work out.</p>
<p>Have not tried it online (so limits may be different) but paper version is 5 lines. D's developed her answer in word and when kept to no more than 5 lines is 76 words.</p>
<p>200-300 words seems to far from what is expected for that space.</p>
<p>The limit is definitely 500 characters, spaces included. Just tried it online.</p>
<p>With the character info, D's 76 words in the 5 lines is 440 characters. Those 200-300 words will be a problem.</p>
<p>All right, thanks everyone!</p>
