<p>Really two to three pages!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Mine was 3 pages. Go for substance though...If you can write a great one page essay, go for it! They'd rather see a short one page essay than a 3 page essay that could have been one page.</p>
<p>mine was 350 words.</p>
<p>I think that 350 words is a good length, don't make it too long and repeititve, get to the point.</p>
<p>did you get accepted?</p>
<p>Mine was 2 and a quarter pages, double spaced.. and i got accepted ED</p>
<p>i know a lot of ppl that made their essays 300-275 words longand got accepted.</p>
