Personal Statement length?

Temple says to use a minimum of 250 words, but nothing about a maximum. I have an essay prepared which is just uner 500 words, is that too long or too short?
Thanks

I’d say that is the perfect length. I don’t know about Temple specifically, but the common app essay can only be up to 650 words. I know my son applied to University of Maryland (who isn’t on the Common App), and their essay max length is 500 words. So, IMO anywhere from 450-650 words would be about right. Best of Luck!

Think i’ll go ahead and submit it then. Thanks!

you probably submitted essay by now but 500ish words should be fine.
