Common appl personal essay

<p>How long should it be? It says min 250.. Max? Around 600 or 500? Thanks</p>

<p>Yes around 500-550 words</p>

<p>it doesn't mention a maximum... what if my essay is over 1,000 words?</p>

<p>I know in their supplement statement they ask that you specifically keep it under 500 words, but idk about the common app essay</p>
