<p>Whats the general length of the optional essay. I was planning to write only a paragraph about one of my favorite art movements, but realized that they could be expecting a 250 word essay.</p>
<p>mine looks like its about 300 words... i suggest not going near 500</p>
<p>do you think that 413 would be ok for the why chicago essay? I was trying to be brief but I honestly could have written a book on the subject.</p>
