Hello,

I e-submitted my app. about a week ago and I currently am working on supplemental applications. I found out some schools are requiring me to attach additional information about myself. I was wondering how much do I need to write for these kind of essay questions? Do I need to write another "personal type" of an essay?

Thank you for your time!

Do the supplemental questions not have character limits? Typically I answered supplemental question in the format of small to medium sized paragraphs (4-8 sentences perhaps).

Because I have my own limited experiences with supplementals, it's impossible to know exactly what YOU are seeing versus what I saw. If your supplemental was just asking one major question, then perhaps they want a few paragraphs, but as I said, all of mine were a series of paragraph length answers to questions with character limits.

Thank you for answering my question!

So far, none of the supplemental questions had character limits...
For instance, Creighton asked two questions: Reason for choosing Creighton and Any other particular importance that the admissions committee should know about.
I wrote about a page for each question.. I hope that was good enough..
