College Essay..Length?!

<p>i wrote a very pre-mature essay...there wil be alot of refineing done....but it is 975 words...is that too long? the essay is not pro-longed it all flows..</p>

<p>also..what are your ideas or what have u learned/read about how long essays should be?</p>

<p>975 words is too long but do not worry. Since your essay is very pre-mature, you will be able to drastically cut it down after several revisions. Generally you want to aim between 500 to 600 words for your long essays and about 250 words for your short essays</p>
