The length of your essay depends on the instructions - usually each application/essay prompt tells you the approximate length it should be. If they don’t and it’s a normal essay (not a short answer) then make it no longer than 750 words. Try to keep as close to 500 as possible…any longer that that and you’re probably writing unnecessary stuff. Remember, adcoms are reading thousands of essays and you don’t want them to get bored.
