If what this admissions counselor told me is true...

<p>I was wondering the length of the why NU essay b/c when an admissions counselor came to visit my school, he said "2 Paragraphs" and I was blown away. I had already written 600 words and now I am at a loss...
Is this the same thing anyone else was told? Should I keep the 600 words or beign the editing process all over?</p>

<p>My essay was like 700 and I got in. No need to stress about it.</p>

<p>ok thanks. I was so confident with my essay and was hessitant to take anything out:)</p>

<p>Mine was like 2 pages double-spaced and I got in also. I would not worry about the length.</p>

<p>I have 850 at 3.5 pages, I want to cut it down to under 800 but to be honest, they never did specify a length. If what you’re writing is sincere and it’s good, length shouldn’t matter.</p>
