Is THREE pages enough?

<p>I am doing the essay for common application. It says it has to be minimum of 250 words.</p>

<p>I double spaced and got 3 pages. Total 666 words. Is this long or brief enough??</p>

<p>It's a little long. Aim for 500.</p>

<p>Right it might be a little long for the admissions officers to read through</p>
