<p>I just finished my answer to Question 1, basically Why Chicago. My essay is only about 200 words. Is it too shot? Thank you for your insights.</p>
<p>Short is good.</p>
<p>Thanks Overachiever1992. What do you think the optimal length for this kind of questions? Thanks again.</p>
<p>There’s no optimal length, but the shorter the better. Of course, that doesn’t mean sacrificing good content, but trust me, the vast, vast majority of high school students can pare down their words. We’re just too accustomed to the idea that the longer the better; we naturally add unnecessary words and phrases everywhere.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
