<p>Answer the essay on a separate sheet of paper. Your essay should be one page in length (approximately 500 words). (Applicants to the Market and Social Systems Engineering major should skip this question and only answer the program-specific essay question in the Program-Specific section.)</p>
<p>I have one page single spaced with 622 words.. does this work.? it certainly isnt redundant</p>
<p>That should be fine, just keep it confined to one page. Mine was right around 550-600 I believe, and I got in…</p>
<p>If you can cut it down, try to, but if you can’t i dont think that will be all that detrimental. I had like 560 words and I got in ED…i think you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Same as the posters above. I kept mine to about 530~ and made sure that it was all on one page. If it fits, I’m sure it is okay.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
