is 1000 words too long for a common app essay?

Well, from what I’ve seen, 500-750 is the norm, but if you think it’s ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, then I wouldn’t worry about it.
I would go through and make sure that they’re all meaningful and that it flows/has no superfluous/tangential info, however.

Good luck!
