<p>Ok, my essay is 1100 words. A little bit over the common app.'s 500 word limit. I know you can usually get away with like 550 or 600 words, but 1100 is way too much. Would anyone be willing to read mine and tell me what seems superfluous and cuttable? Love you forever if you will :P. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>When I first wrote mine it was 950+ words....I rewrote it and I regretted having anyone read my first one. When it is this much over I think it might be best to rewrite it - maybe combining 3-4 sentences into one or two as you read along and eliminating a thought or two. jmho...</p>
<p>I agree it's best to rewrite it first yourself, but if you really want a reader I'd be happy to comment.</p>
<p>Thanks :) I cut out a ton and it's now at 750 words. I'd love it if you would read through it and give me some ideas on more stuff I can cut out. Thanks! I'll PM you...</p>
<p>ill read it :)</p>
<p>i love to read. :-)</p>
<p>oh and feel free to PM or email to me if you wish :D</p>
