Hi @Jems!
There's no fixed word count that you need to reach to be considered good. Since Common App gives you the space to write 650 words, it's a good idea to use as much of that as possible. This is your chance to tell the admissions officers about yourself through an essay, and you shouldn't miss out on the opportunity to do so. There is scope for writing more. Think carefully for some time and you'll definitely get more ideas.
Hope this helps!
