Hi. For the essay question #1, is the word limit 200 for both the parts or 200 for each of them? Thanks for helping out!

Hi there,
Unless otherwise stated explicitly, LOR should be in the range of 1000-1200 or so...

Please check it out on Emory's application requirement page to see if anything has been there or you may want to reach out to Adcom also.
Hope it helps.

The best thing to do is to write to admissions and bring it to their attention, if the word limit isn't clear from the prompt.

A silly doubt..
Is it advisable to upload all the essays in a single PDF or is it better to upload them in different files?

I had this question as well and was about to email them, but I just checked the website again and it seems they've added a "total" in the question to remove the confusion.

I have submitted my application, but instead of submitting all essays together in one pdf file, I have submitted them separately, do I need to contact admissions committee about this.

Do the essays have to be in PDF format? I have them in Word. I mean I doubt it should matter. I still met the word count and answered the questions. Everything's legible.

I'm not sure when they changed the wording of that question... but in my opinion it won't be something that can kill the application.
