UNC's supplemental does not have a character limit. Therefore, I was wondering if it would look bad if I wrote a lot. I have like 2-3 pages single spaced for 2 questions..

My total response to all questions added to about 6 pages, single spaced.

They say that there should be ample room for your longest answer.

Is it bad to write too much? I do not think so. Tell them everything that is important to your application and answer their questions.

Woah 2-3 single spaced questions might be too much for only two questions, considering that there are over 5 questions. Adcoms have to read through a thousand applications after all, and you don't want to bore them with details. Just consider that is really important to paint a picture of yourself.

For UNC i wrote half a page single spaced for each question, some question a little bit more than half a page. But i dont think you should go more than that, because you dont want adcom to sit there and try to take forever to go through your supp app just because you wrote 2 pages per question. If i was them i wouldnt want to read so much for one applicant, but thats just mine opinion. Good luck 🙂

i had the physical pictures printed out at CVS. So what i did is i just took a picture of my 2x2 picture with my iphone and emailed it to myself. Saved it as jpg to my desktop and then emailed it to adcom.

I would think the adcom would like it much more if you put an hour or so into making that language more concise. It has GOT to suck drudging through application after application. I'm not sure how much they would appreciate a 3 page essay response.

i did medium and it was fine. I think when you do large on the iphone then it wont send or if you do too small then it might be way too small. so medium was just right 🙂

yeah thats what i did medium.. my mac is pretty annoying tho.... it doesn't have the 150 ppi option and i changed the size to 2x2 but it sure looks a lot bigger than 2x2.... 🙄
