Can someone help me cut down the length?

My essay is about 1200 words and no one (not my English teacher, my counselour or myself) can cut it down.

I would really appreciate any help! I'll PM it to you if you're interested.

My D just wrote a wonderful essay last night, but it's a shade over 1200 words too. Several people have read it already though and all commented "It didn't FEEL long; it flowed very well and we couldn't wait to read the end".

Will 1200 words be a turnoff or red flag?

Thank you.
