Short essay length?

<p>So I've just finished writing the honor code essay...and lo and behold, it's 609 words. Longer than Davidson asks its "personal statement" to be. Are they going to kill me? Does it need to be cut?</p>

<p>I'm curious about this too. Did you ever find out what the length should be?</p>

<p>Nope. </p>

<p>I guess I'll try and cut it down to less than 500, though...</p>
