<p>Hey I'm sorry if this question has already been asked, but what is the ideal length for the common app essay? I know it's a 250 word minimum, but what limit should you keep it too so it's not too long?</p>
<p>probably best to keep it over 400, under 800</p>
<p>but the length of the essay shouldn’t matter as much as the quality of the essay</p>
