Yeah I tried to get all the major details and a few small details in. My statement is not long but not short. For Southern my essay is 3/4s of a page for the optometry questions. The ECs and what impact they had on you is a page. I did bullets for the ECs, jobs etc. in an organized list. Basically, I wrote a paragraph for each question they asked. Nova just asked one question so that is one big paragraph.
