<p>My essay for common app's short essay is about 165 words. Is that okay?</p>
<p>well, it says AT LEAST 250 words. Of course, considering how many supplements there are, I don’t even know how much adcoms consider the common app essay. I’d bump it a hundred or so words just to be safe though.</p>
<p>Short essay? Do you mean the short answer? (The one about the EC of your choice). 165 words is more than enough for this one. However, if you are talking about the main common app essay, then 165 is kind of little.</p>
<p>i meant the short answer not the main essay ^.^ my bad lol</p>
<p>Good, cause i thought your essay was 165 words :S</p>
<p>ya thats fine</p>
