<p>Does anyone know if the length matters much?
I know we arent suppose to go over 1000 words but what if mine is only 670-700?
Would the admission people look down on it?
I mean if i was them and i had to read 30,000 plus essays i would like a short straight forward one right?</p>
<p>That's what I was asking about the uc essays yesterday...</p>
<p>from what I've seen, most colleges prefer around 500 words for an essay, give or take about 200. 670 words is perfectly fine; if you like your essay, don't bother to make it longer if it's going to take away from the quality</p>
