Swarthmore Supplement Short Answer Length?
On the Common App, under the "Why Swarthmore" short answer question, the box gives 2000 characters to answer the question. Is that the recommended length? If so, how long is that? If not, what is the recommended length for that response?

Thanks!
Becky

Divide by 5 = 400 words. Your word processing software should show you the number of characters/words in your essay. Write 1-2 paragraphs and you'll be fine.

If there is no recommended length explicitly stated, then there is no recommended length.
