200-500 words.. common applic.

<p>hi guys!.. I was reviewing my common applic and I think my essay is too short to express what I really want to express.
The point is that I want to know if I really have to follow the directions and write a short essay ( 200-500 words) ... how did u guys do with ur essay and common applic....?
Anyone wants to read my essay and give some feedback?!.. I will really appreciated :)!..</p>

<p>I just sent my 600 word UC app essay. if they don't like it oh well, there wasn't anyway I was gonna remove 20% of my essay without butchering it</p>
