<p>I was just wondering, it says maximum of 500 words but if your essay is perfect at 530, would it really make a different. Will they see it as a sign of disrespect or anything like that? I'm stuck on my supplement for CAS and was just wondering. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>p.s. if anyone is interested in reading it over and offering suggestions it would be greatly appreciated :)</p>
<p>try to make it as close to 500 as possible. are there extra words you can delete? ill read it over if you want...</p>
<p>the reason they put the 500 limit is because cornell, as well as all other colleges dont want to read a novel...they want to see that you can explain your point very succinctly while still including details. will they reject you with 30 over? no. they do not count word for word. basically, write 1 pg single spaced (turns into 2 pages double...and DO double space it!)</p>
<p>thanks for the tip on double spacing, I'll see if I can cut some more out. thanks again</p>
<p>I'll be glad to take a look and offer feedback. I just sent my ED app to CALS two days ago :) PM me!</p>
