<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am hoping that someone here can help me out. I had a very atypical high school experience, and need to give a lot of extra info and explanations. My guidance counselor had suggested that I do so in a more literary/essay format rather than just a list of "hey, here's what happened". </p>
<p>I wrote something that is three pages long (double spaced - about 900 words), but now as I'm sitting here the day before applications are due I'm starting to freak out a little. Is that much too long? Will admission's officers be upset by the length? I know that brevity is usually better in these situations, but I really feel like I won't be able to do a good job of explaining everything if I go any shorter.</p>
<p>Any advice in the next day or so would be VERY appreciated. Thank you in advance!</p>
<p>(FYI I did touch on some of my weirdness in my essay, but I really didn't feel like an essay was the place to get into a more technical explanation.)</p>
