<p>My essay is 420 words long...i am having a very tough time shortening it without losing the focus, how worried should i be about getting it to 250???</p>
<p>write on another topic</p>
<p>yeah right, the other essay questions are rediculous, some of us can be intelligent without being deep thinkers...the question i answered is my only option</p>
<p>i agree. some of them are really stupid. you might just have to suck it up and write something reel lame.</p>
<p>250 words....damn.....most of mine are 500....good luck with that</p>
<p>I actually really like the topics, they were very easy to write about. I wrote about the location one. Don't worry so much about the short essay, just make sure it flows and answers the question. Worry more about the 500 word one. After all, how much do they expect you to reveal in 250 words?</p>
<p>Oh and are you guys including the optional/additional essay? I think I am.</p>
<p>Don't use the additional essay unless you really have something to say. It's more of an explanation essay. From talking to admissions people, that's NOT a place to tell more about yourself; just to explain something that needs explaining.</p>
