<p>Well I just finished my essays, but Im a little worried. Is 900 words too long for the fav books, films, newspapers, etc. essay?</p>
<p>Idk they asked for a Paragraph...I wrote about 200 words...exactly a paragraph.. But i think the length matters a little less than quality. If it is 900 words of intelligence and insight, then you are swell...but if its 900 words of B.s. and crap then you are screwed. I wrote little cause i tend to ramble and stuff when i write alot. Plus, they only have a given amount of time for ur applicant</p>
<p>thanks. i think i'll try to shorten it and cut it in half at least.</p>
<p>Mine was about 300 words.</p>
<p>mine was 179, and i was accepted. 900 words is a little excessive don't you think?</p>
<p>900 words is too long. You won't be rejected because of it, but they won't like it. Try to focus on just one thing you're really passionate about. That should make it shorter, more to the point, and should tell more about you than a long list.</p>
<p>exactly. they told you to make it 1-2 paragraphs for a reason. you should make it concise. no need to show off.</p>
<p>(about how many books you have read)</p>
