For the main Common App essay, I have approximately 375 words. I don’t know if there’s really anything else to say about the topic without sounding trite, so…do you think this is an appropriate length? The minimum word count is 250 words, but it seems as if many here are worrying about theirs being nearly a thousand words long…is 375 words too concise?
