"Write a brief essay in which you respond to the following question."

<p><a href="freshman%20applicants%20only">b</a>: Johns Hopkins offers 49 majors across the schools of Arts and Sciences and Engineering. On this supplement, we ask you to identify one or two that you might like to pursue here. Why did you choose the way you did? If you are undecided, why didn't you choose? (If any past courses or academic experiences influenced your decision, you may include them in your essay.)**</p>

<p>Is 600 words okay or am I doing this wrong?!?!</p>

I'd say that the first creative essay ("communities essay") will traditionally be between 750 - 1000 words when written. Remember you can present this essay in any format, using any medium, you want. </p>

<p>The second academic essay ("majors essay") is expected to be shorter and probably will run between 250-500 words. But as with the first essay, it is your choice how long / how short you want your essays to be.

<p>I think that I've sort of got special circumstances since I'm interning with a prof at JHU so I've got a lot to say. I was just making sure people weren't gonna be like "IT SAYS BRIEF YOU IDIOT THAT MEANS 250 WORDS MAX."</p>

<p>crap I read brief and wrote 60 words</p>

<p>Mine was 468 words. :)</p>

<p>is this essay supposed to be creative or more of a factual, straightforward one?</p>
