Wellllll......................

Unless they SAY list, then I would assume it means an essay, dude.

I wrote essays...

 

[Chankovsky]

it didn't say how long the essay should be

 

[DrThom]

I think someone called the admissions office and they said the essays could be as long as you need them to be. I kept mine at the usual 1500-2000 characters.

i wrote "essays", but they were quite short. i like to keep things short and sweet.

mine were each a small paragraph, like 4 or 5 sentences. I hope that doesn't hurt me, but it tells the truth and isn't a page of filler like a lot of my other essays. you also have to remember that they have your personal statement and all of your post-sec stuff to read. this is a small part of the whole application.

Writing 4-5 sentences won't hurt you at all. Thats what I did and it was fine, so don't fret. Good luck everyone!

Did anyone write kind of long essays? Over 3000 characters? I haven't submitted yet, but both of my essays are that long right now...wondering if I should cut them down or not.

I wrote short essays - around 5 sentences each. Then I wrote a long essay in the optional box about why I wanted to go there.
