I’ve rarely read an essay that couldn’t be pruned. Many have details that seem necessary to the writer, but not to the reader. I’d have someone read with a highlighter, going over lines or phrases that don’t add to theme or knowledge about you. I truly think the best essays begin about 1000 words, and then are cut in half. good luck
