How long should my graduate school essay be?

Posted by admin
meercat asked:


Hello -

I am writing an essay for a Graduate School Application, and the prompt says that it should be at least 200 words. How long do you think it should be in the end? I don’t want it to be a full page and have them not even want to read it all. On the flipside, I don’t want to write 200-300 words and have them think I couldn’t be bothered to write a decent essay. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Clyde

      It shouldn’t be longer than two pages. You should try to fill up an entire page.
