The Brandeis CommonApp supplement has the 'Why Brandeis?' question with a word limit of 250 words; but on the other hand, the Brandeis application has the 'Why Brandeis?' question with no limits.
I'm really confused about the actual word limit. Can anyone suggest anything? Has anyone ever had an experience with this? Would really appreciate a response.
The 250 word "limit" you see is a suggestion. There's not a true limit to how much you could write for the "Why Brandeis?" essay, but we're not looking for a particularly long essay.
