<p>For the common app, I wrote a 250 word EC essay. Do you think that's pushing the 150 limit a little too far?</p>
<p>i would keep it at 150. 250 is after all, 67% more than than the limit. do you know how to post threads? i’ve been trying to figure it out.</p>
<p>lol…go to the top of the threads list and click ‘post new thread’.</p>
<p>and jaw117, if you look at the print-preview, you’ll see that it actually cuts off your essay after a half a page. be careful.</p>
<p>sry to hijack your thread but i don’t see a “post new thread” thing anywhere. where do i go to? i just clicked on new threads and came here.</p>
<p>you must have misclicked, the “new thread” button links to a blank thread that you create.</p>
<p>Keep it closer to 150. I’m sure most people can easily write a page on their most important EC, but the point here is to make it clean and concise. Leave the emotional/rhetorical language out.</p>
