For anyone who gets a secondary and sees it is way too long and wants to not do it. My advice is you don’t have to Max out the Word count. I only wrote about 40% of the count and got in last cycle. Seems like the content matters more. I also had to write the MPH essays so I really didn’t wanna write that much.

I think it was 5000 in the past so I think they're ok with it being fairly long. I did between 3500-4000ish. Just to the point where I covered everything that I wanted to cover.

just answer the question to your best ability and when you feel like you have added enough content and thoroughly showcased why your interested in that school then your good do not overthink it. People have gotten in writing 1500 some 3000 and some 4999 there is no magic number. Quality > Quantity worst case.
