How long is too long?

<p>The extended essay says 1-2 pages, but currently, my essay is about 2 and a half pages. Should I cut down or would this be okay?</p>

<p>Make it single spaced, (arial 10pt if necessary) and concise. Mine was ~1300 words, and I got in EA with a 5k merit scholarship.</p>

<p>Ah, thank you. Mine is only about 960 words, so that means it shouldn’t be too long if I single space it. Thanks!</p>

<p>Mine was about 500 words and I was accepted EA. I figured they get 10k+ novels at a time so I tried to make mine concise. Point is if it’s long because it has to be then they won’t mind. If it’s long because you think they want it to be dragged out they will probably find it a little obnoxious and it might not help you very much.</p>
