<p>About how long should my common app. essay be.</p>
<p>It says 250 minimum, but is there a maximum?</p>
<p>How long are most of these type of essays?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>There is no maximum.</p>
<p>Reading other forums, I get the sense that they're usually anywhere from 400-700 (most commonly between 600-700). Focus more on what you want to say than how long you want it to be though. Good luck.</p>
