Short answers... Essay length?

<p>For applying to U-M, there are 2 short answer and 1 essay you have to do. I however didn't realize the difference, and wrote 3 good ~500 word essays. I just found out the short answers are supposed to be about 250 words. Would it still be okay for me to use the 500 word essays, or should I cut them down.</p>

<p>As well, what sort of paragraph structures (optimally) should this have? Several paragraphs like an essay, or just a couple?</p>

<p>It would be good if you cut down. </p>

<p>As for structure, there's no formula for that.</p>
