<p>Is 700 words an overkill? I just had so many good things to say about Emory and my experiences.</p>
<p>I was actually just about to ask this question, although in a slightly different way:</p>
<p>How long should the Why Emory essay be?</p>
<p>Ok I found it in another thread. From what I can tell, content is the most important and as long as I support my reasons well, I don't have to worry about length too much.</p>
<p>Would anyone like to agree/disagree? Comments?</p>
<p>i did a 1 page essay, i think that was an adequate amount for a short essay
To ChiHF9009, i agree with you on content a ton. That's how the admission officers will evaluate how much you want to go to Emory so making it your very best is crucial.</p>
<p>I think that as long as you hitting on constructive points as to why you want to attend Emory, any length is fine. My essay is a bit over one page.</p>
<p>mine is like 600ish, and I agree with the upperposters about the content being the most important.</p>
