A thousand words for the NU supplement??

<p>I havent really profread my supplement yet but its 1100 words…
is that way too much??
also, do officers read everything on the essay?</p>

<p>perhaps it’s a tad long… i have approximately 650 words second rough draft and i’m probably going to cut it down to 500 by next week.</p>

<p>There is a 0% chance that you need that many words.</p>

<p>ok thanks for the info. but in general, do the officers read the whole essay regardless of length?</p>

<p>Yes. In your case that wouldn’t be a good thing, since I’m 100% sure you use too many words/are repetitive/ should cut some out.</p>

<p>My supplement was probably around 1000 words. I may have trimmed it down by the end, but it was pretty long. It’s really not a big deal - some people have a lot to say. Mine wasn’t excessively repetitive and was based on my experiences at NU during their Model UN conference. If you have something to share and feel you can express it well within your 1000 words, don’t worry too much. If you are writing 1000 words just to write 1000 words, then you have a problem.</p>
