<p>On Apply Texas, the common ap for all Texas public universities, there is no minimum or recommended essay length. There is a maximum cutoff essay length of 120 lines, and anything greater cannot be submitted. But that is a clear maximum.</p>
<p>Does anyone have a suggestion for how long an essay should be? Is 300 word enough? 500? 700?</p>
<p>Essay topics include describing a time when you were outside your comfort zone, describing a time you had to overcome something, describing how your current and future educational plans is consistent with your goals, etc. </p>
