<p>I have completed my application and applying ED1 but i was wondering how long the long (250 word minimum) essay should be. Though it only giving you a minimum, I would also presume that they don’t want it a rediculous amount over 250 words (1,000+). Right now it is about 800-900 words or so but if need be i could prolly cut it down to 600-700. But is it too long as it is now, considering this is really the only essay of a reasonable length?</p>
<p>There’s no specific word limit, but many sources suggest 500-700 words, I think.</p>
<p>Yeah, 600 or 700 is what I’ve heard as well (just around this site).</p>
<p>Do you think like 750-900max words would hurt me as Wesleyan does not have any supplements?</p>
<p>If you need that many words to make your essay amazing, I guess you gotta do what you gotta do! If you’re essay is great with 900 words but only okay with 600 words, use 900 words. Just not if you can avoid it :)</p>
