What?! Please don’t extend the 500 words one to 600. That’s definitely more than 1 page. Be concise.

Imagine you need to propose marriage to a guy. The proposal shouldn’t be shorter than 1 minute, because then it won’t be special. It shouldn’t be longer than 4 minutes … the novelty will wear off (unless you are proposing at half-time during the Super Bowl - on the big screen). It should be somewhere in the middle.

Don’t laugh at that analogy Read it carefully, and elaborate it to college essays.
