<p>Is an essay that's 100 words over a big deal. 100 words really isnt that much, but it is noticeable.</p>
<p>It depends on if they say the essay must be at a certain word count or below, or if it says "approximately ___ words." If they say please don't go over, then don't! I had a hard time cutting my essays, but in most cases it had to be done. (Some of them I had a hard time getting longer...like the U Chicago one I'm working on right now. grr...it doesn't flow at all!)</p>
<p>it just says write one 400-500 words.... I think it will be okay. I hope so anyways</p>
<p>bumping this thread up.</p>
<p>This is actually for a scholarship essay. If it says "300 words or less" and my essay is 330 words, is that too much over?</p>
<p>^^ nah, its fine</p>
