<p>Hello! For the application, the essay lengths are supposed to be about 250 words. Is it really that bad if you go a little over 250 words?</p>
<p>They are not gonna hound on you for writing an extra 50 or so words. However, keep it at a good length(i.e. keeping it at one page in Times New Roman 12 double-spaced)</p>
<p>ok. Thanks for replying!</p>
<p>The essay text boxes will tell you if your essay is too long. They will allow more than 250 words, but not too, too much more. Remember that part of being a good writer is being able to edit!</p>
<p>We aren't looking for term papers. We're looking for personal statements.</p>
<p>oh ok, that makes sense. Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>I just came here to ask the same question and you already beat me to it. Thank you for thinking like me and the others for answering.</p>
