<p>I’m applying to adelphi and this is their required essay</p>

<p>A personal statement or essay is required. You may submit a report or paper you have written during this school year or, in 500 words or less, submit a response to one of the provided questions or a topic of your choice.</p>

<p>Describe your background, practical experience, special interests, and reasons for wanting to attend Adelphi University. Include your plans for work after completing your university study.
OR
If you could solve one world problem, which one would you choose and what creative solutions would you have to solve it?
Art Majors: In five to ten paragraphs, tell us something about yourself (your interests and goals) and your reason for wanting to pursue an education in the arts and design disciplines. </p>

<p>so here’s my problem:
we did an essay for english class this school year (personal experience and its impact on you). My essay has 700 words. can I submit this one? does this kind of essay meet the requirements? sorry for the ignorant question but I really have no idea</p>

<p>The directions say to submit a report OR a 500 word or less essay. It doesn’t day the report must be less than 500 words. If in doubt, call the admissions office and ask. I did exactly that yesterday (different school) and was told my essay could go over the word count and that I should email it directly to the person I spoke with. Now my application is right in front of an admissions representative instead of in the general pile and my essay has not been chopped up.</p>
