Duke optional essay #1 length?
Raychul123

I am planning on writing optional essay #1 for Duke as I feel my personal statement doesn't fully address why law school is the next step for me, but I was curious as to how long these essays typically are. Should it be 2 pages like a PS or less?

I just like tagging @"David.Busis" in these questions so I don't have to pretend to know anything about admissions.
1 page double spaced or less.
Agreed unless otherwise stated in the prompt.
If they don't specify—and Duke doesn't—then I would just default to writing something shorter than your PS. I think it's okay if it goes over a page as long as it's not fluffy.
Thanks for the advice- will be writing this too.
Okay- thank you everyone!
