Yes, of course there is. Make sure you read the common app essay instructions.

Just a few years ago there used to not be a word limit, just suggestions as to the length. However, that has all changed. The word limit is 650 words. If you are over that, you will be cut off in mid-stream. Don’t go over. Don’t ramble. Sometimes less is more.
