<p>if my commonapp essay is 1250 words long... would that count against me?
even if is the best essay ever written in history????????????</p>
<p>I feel like you can definitely take out redundancies with an essay of that length. And even if it’s totally concise, is EVERY paragraph necessary? Is every detail of that story relevant, funny, or helpful at conveying who you are?</p>
<p>It can and should be cut down. </p>
<p>That said, it might be good enough. I got into college with a 1000 word essay.</p>
<p>lol i already submitted it…
i crammed, and i didnt have time to cut it down. ):
hopefully they’ll know that its a mature, academic essya?
shoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot</p>
