Hi guys,
working on my optional essay (ppt) right now. Can anyone tell me if there is a limit on the number of slides that can be made? They just mention a limit of 1 min on videos but nothing about powerpoint presentations. I have made 7 slides in total (including 1 intro slide and 1 conclusion slide that doesnt have anything about me). My "effective" number of slides is just 5. I wonder if thats ok.
I haven't heard of or seen any official limit on slides from MIT; I honestly don't think there is one. Obviously use your judgement, and keep your PowerPoint succinct. Five slides sounds fine, so long as they aren't too text-heavy!
That's right. There's no limit on the optional essay, unless you're actually writing an essay. If you are, then the box has a 7,000 character limit, which is definitely over 1,000 words, so you have plenty of room.
You should just use your best judgement and also keep in mind that the readers are looking at applications on iPads.
