<p>Hey all, I’m at the point where I am writing the two supplements for admissions. The two is question are:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>and, er, the other. Can’t get to it because it seems that the common app is down.</p>

<p>Anyway, does anyone know what the word limit for these ones are? I already wrote the other, larger and more involved one.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I believe it’s somewhere between 250-500 words(: Good luck!</p>

<p>The limit is 500. The commonapp won’t allow anymore than that.</p>

4

<p>Both are 250…</p>

5

<p>did that just change. It was 500 words the last time I looked and 500 words still fits in the box. What’s everyone else doing?</p>

6

<p>500 fit for me too.</p>

<p>Caribgurl - so are you leaving it. I just don’t think Chicago of all schools is going to care if you go a little over the limit. Even 250 words over is not such a big deal if you think you’re essay is that good.</p>

<p>this is from the uchicago writing supplement page on the common app</p>

<p>"Please respond to Question 1 --and, if you choose, Question 2 --by writing a paragraph or two up to a full page, approximately 250 words, for each question. Then choose one of the six extended essay options, indicate your choice, and write a one- or two-page response. "</p>

<p>but i think you’ll be fine</p>

<p>Option 2 is within that limit but the Why Chicago question has passed the limit. Yes, I’m just going to leave it. I honestly didn’t see any limit on my page so I used up almost the whole 500.</p>
