London School of Economics MSc Finance Application

I am applying for the Master of Science in Finance program at the London School of Economics and would appreciate some feedback. The application guidelines state that the personal statement essay should be 2-3 pages on A4 paper, with no word limit. My essay is about 1.75 pages (10 lines short when I use 1-inch margins). Do you think my essay is fine as is, assuming that it is fairly well written and a little short of a full two pages, or should I squeeze a little more info into this essay?

Yeah, why? Because I said A4 paper - those are their words - or because at this point I'm worrying too much about the minor details?
