<p>The minimum is 250 words. I've said all I've had to say in 300 words and after I edit I'm planning on submitting. Did any one else have a short essay like me? Most threads I've read have people complaining about essays that are too long...will I be looked down upon if I have only around 300 words?</p>
<p>as long as you said everything you wanted to say in 300 words, you're fine.</p>
<p>Do adcoms receive essays from applicants that are less than 300 words?</p>
<p>You will be fine if essay is meaningful.</p>
<p>So long as it gets the job done; that's what I've always said.</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure it'll be a plus for you if you managed to say everything you wanted in 300 words. </p>
<p>if two essays say the exact same thing, but one is shorter, the shorter one is the more 'impacting' one</p>
