how long should the common app essay be?

<p>I'm just curious and want to make sure mine is not too short. its 625 words which is almost one page single typed. is this a good length? thanks</p>

<p>That is definitely not too short.</p>

<p>I think 500-600s would be alright. I personally think that 700+ would be just too long.</p>

<p>okay good, so mine is within reasonable range. thanks for the answers. oh and one more thing, should the essay have a title or no?</p>

<p>There is no right or wrong on title. A lot of people include one and many people don’t.</p>
