Schreyer Application Questions

Hi,

I’m in the process of writing my three Schreyer essays and am just wondering where I should be aiming in regards to word count. I know it states in the directions that the essays can be of any length, but if anyone has any tips lmk. Essentially my question is whether my essays should be around the 500 word personal statement length, or if I should be writing more like 1,500-2,000 words.

1 1/2-2pages each for the more academic topics and 300-500 for the less academic ones.
