<p>My main essay is 540 words. The word limit is between 250-500, but since it's uploaded will schools even know that it is over? Does it matter?
Thanks</p>
<p>Have someone else read through it and make cuts. It is easier than you think to cut. Combine sentences and ideas. Get it under 500. An application my son was filling out today said something about the essay may be cut off if it is too long.</p>
<p>The essay is an uploaded document so I believe that it does not cut off. I was hoping to get confirmation.</p>
<p>Sorry, I have no idea if it is actually cut off.</p>
<p>Don’t exceed the limit.</p>
<p>The instructions don’t say “about 500”</p>
