<p>Is it ok to write a commonapp essay with 550-600 words? Will that be too much?</p>
<p>I think I heard that it’s alright as long as it fits on one page, single spaced, 12 pt. font.</p>
<p>500 words is not a firm limit on the Common App essay. 550-600 words will be fine. There is no restriction on spacing, number of pages, or font.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
