<p>Each question has 1500 characters available for its answer.</p>
<p>My answer to the first question is 1487 characters (with spaces) in length while the second and third are 993 and 861 respectively (both in characters with spaces).</p>
<p>Is it okay if the other two are shorter?</p>
<p>I’d like to submit these soon so I would greatly appreciate a response… :/</p>
<p>If you feel you’ve said everything you need to, then it’s not a problem. They’re judging on content, not length. Good luck!</p>
<p>Okay, thank you. :)</p>
<p>Best of luck to you as well if you are applying!</p>
<p>Although the length might not have a huge impact, but I personally don’t understand why you would have a response that’s less than 1450 characters. You really want to communicate your character and your passions through these responses so I suggest you explain or go further in depth. Less than 1000 characters probably just won’t be long enough to make an impression.</p>
<p>Well I think what I said was sufficient. Plus, in the latter two, I talk about my interest in psychology (the second is about studying it at NYU and the third about a book that sparked my interest) and I fear that it would become repetitive if I made them longer.</p>
<p>Lol if you talk about your passion for more than 1000 characters… It get repetitive? What does that say about the intensity or depth of your passion? C;</p>
<p>I meant that both are about the same passion so it adds up to almost 2000 characters on it…</p>
<p>There are so many intangibles to this that there is no right or wrong answer. Who’s to say what is better, long or short.</p>
<p>In general, the struggle of college writing is learning to break the habits from high school where it was easy to churn out As in English with a very formulaic, rote sentence structure. There was an easy pattern. College is about substance over style. If your essay is strong and has substance, that trumps an essay that simply fills out the box provided.</p>
<p>If you get in, congratulations. If you don’t, please, please do not think it was just because your supplements were shorter than other people’s.</p>
<p>@hellodocks,</p>
<p>Thank you for your reassurance. 
</p>
<p>I don’t think I will be blaming my supplement length if I get bad news <em>knock on wood</em>…</p>
