essay length???

For JHU, essay question 2 says please write a brief essay answering the question what has been the most rewarding course you have taken in your academic career and why?
no length is specified (as far as I can tell)

how long? is a “brief essay” shorter than just an “essay”? 250 words? 500 words? 1000 words? as long as it needs to be?

i feel like i could go on and on forever and write a ten page paper about myself and my biology class, or just be write a shorter essay. i guess shorter is better, but how short is too short? i have to stop editing it down sometime.

<p>Any essay you write should fit on one page.</p>

<p>double spaced, i presume?</p>

<p>It can be single spaced if it is too long.</p>
