Essay Length

I’ve written two essays for the common application. One of my essays is very well written, but it is only 260 words. The second essay is creative and 600 words. I prefer the first essay, but I’m concerned about the word count.

Is there a way to lengthen your 260 word essay? It seems a little too short in my opinion, maybe aim for at least 450-500. 260 words is the size of a short answer.

Thx!

Hey probably not inventive information, but instead of just dragging out your essay, maybe you can add another part or theme or story…
