<p>Hi everyone,
I wrote a 500 character essay, not realizing that there was an "upload" option available as well. Should I upload an essay instead/will I get penalized for writing such a short one? Thanks for your help :)</p>
<p>My daughter submitted a 500 character essay and was accepted. A concise, well-written essay is often more influential (and appreciated by the admission officer who has to read it) than an essay that rambles or presents superfluous information.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks so much! I’ll keep it as is, then.</p>
