Essays

[newgrad819]

For the people that are applying to programs that require essays, how many long are you writing these essays? No length required was included on the application but I'm just curious to know what others think is considered an appropriate length. Btw I have to answer 3 detailed questions and I don't want to be too short or too long in my answer. 

 

Thanks,

A general guideline if no length is mentioned is two double-spaced pages.

Don't worry about the length of the essay before you start writing it. First, plan your essay and answer the questions up to your satisfaction. Once first draft is ready, read, edit, repeat until the essay looks precise and to the point. That's what I follow and I have never faced any flak regarding the length of the essay.
