College Essay

<p>I need a bottomline to this because I've been trying to find this for a long time.</p>

<p>How long are the long essays and how long are the short essays?
How many long essays do you generally need and how many short essays do you generally need?</p>

<p>I'm probably using the common app online. I just got in touch with it two days ago and I'm still warming up to it.</p>

<p>i'm not sure about that. i've heard the optimum length is around 500 words though. I guess you wouldn't want to write too long (the adcom might slaughter you for dragging their day) and too short just won't convey the point.</p>

<p>both of my essays are about 50 words over 500, but I don't think that's a problem.</p>

<p>Someone else answer the rest of the questions please?</p>
