I understand that the ApplyTexas essay limit is 120 80 character lines. Yet I want to know if there is a specific word limit set by the UT campus. I couldn’t find such information anywhere. My essay C is finished and about 117 lines. In those 117 lines I am concretely staying on topic, at least I think so and so do my peers. Yet I am worried that it is too long. Do colleges, especially UT, hate long essays? I really put a lot of time and thought into mine and it is very difficult for me to cut something out since I think all of it together highlights my future and current goals. Has anyone else submitted or plans to submit an essay so close to the limit? Is it really a bad idea? Thank you in advance.
