The leader essay is normal length.
The Why Mich essay is shorter than the Wisconsin one.
You want a serious essay situation, look at Schreyer at Penn State.
The William and Mary / St Andrews essay is between 1500 and 2000 words!
That’s a very niche and very competitive program though.

Schreyer is insane. NINE essays!? If the goal is to weed out the unserious I think it will work on my kid.
My kid is a prolific writer and knocked them out in a weekend on a whim. PSU was a safety, but the HC would have made it a real contender if Michigan didn’t come through. They did get into Schreyer and that was pretty cool.
