How big of a deal would it be if my essay was 40 words over?
<p>You would automatically get rejected, they wouldn't even look at you file. No, just kidding, are you sending it by mail? They might not even notice if it was a lttle longer.</p>
<p>More then likely, the adcom will sit there and count every word on your paper.</p>

<p>lol hahahah, ive been over on all of my 500 word essays, around 550, i dont think its a big deal as long as the essay is good and doesnt drag on...</p>
<p>My essay is 800 words and I think its all fine. The admissions officer for my EA school even said so. 40 words is nothing. Just make sure the online form doesn't truncate it!</p>
