I just staple Mr. Andrew Jackson to that section.
This is so subjective. How good is your story? I've had tremendous success with my ~400 word essay. Doesn't seem to me that a 600 word essay would be unreasonable as long as it's focused on responding to the prompt.
Some people on SDN let others critique their essays. Maybe you should give that a try if you're still concerned.
Good luck!
469 words, no more, no less. j/k. Really, you can't qualify it with a number of words. Be clear and concise. Don't list too many points because you want to be able to say something different from what you write in your essay.
