The length doesn't really matter; just the quality of your writing. They want to know how well you write, what your "voice" is like. If you haven't published anything yet (although I'm guessing you have), now's the time to find an outlet - a community newspaper, a nonprofit you believe in, for instance. Re one of the other responses - this has nothing to do with the resume; it's a whole separate element of the application process.
