hellothere111

Well I'm probably only doing 2 or 3 but I'm going to make them really good, I could really use some college resume awards.

It frustrates me that they give you free reign over how many pages you can write. I'm not even sure how much to write.

I think 10 pages for some events will be good enough. Other events like IBII, I'm not sure how much to write because the prompt is so extensive.

Cho, do you have any insight on this?

I remember they put up examples? how long were those in terms of pages?

They don't require something too long They want quality not quantity. Last year some relatively short essays placed pretty high so i would say go for writing something not too long.

Sounds good it would be a pain to write several pages on this stuff. I think i can live with 3-5 pgs especially if i can win an award for that much

I'm writing/planning on writing 3 pages. I emailed them and they said the length isn't as important as the content.

Quality over quantity.

joecart

^ Probably, that goes for most things. ... I'll have 5 pgs of QUALITY content

champ7

I could write pages on the prompts they have given. They couldve asked half as much and id still be able to write like 4 pgs.

joecart

Does anybody know how many pages the submissions of last year were?

champ7

the business plan last year was 21 pages long but im sure they'll get submissions which r like 25-30 pgs for a business plan
