How long should my supplement answer for Boston University be?

I am applying to Boston University and just want to know how many words the supplement "essay" should be. Also i was wondering if this amount of words should be the same for all colleges’ supplement "essays".

  1. Well when I applied to BU last year my supplemental essay was 224 words.
    And I was accepted.
    The question that year was
    "We would like to know, in 500 words or less, what experiences have led you to select your professional field and objective?"

    And it said right in the supplement in 500 words or less.

    if you want to see what i wrote you can if you want

  2. I would be succinct and to the point. Schools like BU get tens of thousands of applications and the main criterion for acceptance is GPA and SAT score. They really barely have time to scan the essays. Also admissions counselors discount them anyway because they know someone else could have written them for you.
