<p>Hi everyone！
I just finished my main essay for Yale, approximately 750 words. Is that too long?
I understand that they put a limitation of 500 words on supplement essay, do they have one for main essay?
How long did you guys write?</p>
<p>You may want to post this on the main Yale forum where they discuss details of the app process.</p>
<p>I was wondering the same. My Yale supplement is approximately 750 words as well. I have read that a slight stretch of the word limit is not a major concern, but an essay that is too long-winded will likely be unfavored. I could personally not cut anything from mine.</p>
<p>My common app essay is 745 so yeaa haha. From what I’ve heard 500 is midrange with 750 being a good upper limit. So I guess we’re both in the safe zone.</p>
<p>they have thousands of essays to read…so…uhhh…yeah i’d try to make it as short and concise as possible</p>
<p>imagine yourself as an admissions officer with hundreds/thousands of apps to go through? how would you handle the essays?</p>
<p>The adcom still has several months to mull through every application so each essay will be read thoroughly and by various individuals.</p>
<p>THank you guys! This makes me feel much better.</p>
