<p>The common app personal essay just has a 250 word minimum.
Is there a limit that Penn has?</p>
<p>Ive heard they say 1 page. Mine is like 1.25 pages, would it really matter if its a little over?</p>
<p>If its good, it doesn't.
If its just too long, and single spaced, then yes, it is a problem.
Try to keep it down to 500-800 words.</p>
