Stanford essay character limit (online)

<p>the main essay (the long one) can have how many characters for the online app?</p>

<p>how much do you recomend filling out? (about 70%?)</p>

<p>5100 i think</p>

<p>that comes out to be REALLY long… the online app lets you write a hell of alot for the essays, but then just about nothing under extracurriculars</p>

<p>so on average, i should fill maybe 75% of the space they allow?</p>

<p>well for the shorter ones, youll want to write as much as possible (comes out to be about two good paragraphs)</p>

<p>i definitely didnt hit the 5100 mark on the longer essay. dont let the word/character count tie you down, just write as much as you see fit for the longer essay… but on the safe side, 75-100% on it would be good.</p>
