If it reads well, and is sharp, concise, and makes a strong statement then it works, and there is no word requirement. What you don't want to do is have a meandering essay that's loose and all over the place. I've seen short essays that are horrible, and longer essays that are fantastic..and, vice-versa. Just make sure that whatever you write, it's tight in form, structure, and well-written!
