About the essay word limit

<p>I am writing about a person who has significantly influenced me for the commom application. My essay is 750 words long.(It still fits in one page) I have written an essay about international issue for the U of Michigan which is 560 words long. I have talked with an education consultant and he said that my person essay(750words) will be fine. I personally think that it is well written too. Do you think I should rewrite the essay or submit this one?</p>

<p>(I am planning to apply for the NYU, Tufts and University of Southern California.)</p>

<p>The common app directions say 250 to 500 words. 750 words, even if it is well written, is way too long.</p>
