Right Length for Transfer personal statement on common app

<p>Hi!
I am writing a personal essay on the common app on my reasons for transferring. It says the minimum number of words should be 250, but i don't want to write on and on and bore them out by the end of the essay. So what is a good word range?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>this is the UC transfer forum, try posting that question in the general transfer forum</p>

<p>From what I’ve heard, get as close as you can to 250 words before passing it. If you can hit 250 on the button, great. If you can’t, get close to it. If you go over, only go a few words over, but don’t bust it and don’t short change it.</p>
