<p>I need to know cuz it will be long</p>
<p>The unwritten “rule” is to keep it at around 500 words.</p>
<p>Oh man!!! That’s way too short! I wish it was around 1200. pewp. Good thing I only wrote400 of my first attempt.</p>
<p>There are great essays which are concise, with just around 500 words. Similarly, there are really good essays that are around 1000 words. There is no real maximum limit. Just write concisely and edit it by cutting back any unnecessary words. If you can’t cut down anymore, then that’s it, it should be fine.</p>
