Common App EC essay...158 words, help!

<p>Does it really matter?</p>

<p>It says 150 words or fewer, 1000 character limit. </p>

<p>With my 158 words, I am sitting at about ~870 characters. </p>

<p>So am I ok? I am under the character limit, but I could probably cut out if I need to. </p>

<p>Thanks, anyone know what I should do?</p>

<p>I believe it’s the character limit that counts. You should preview it and make sure nothing is cut off. If it’s all there, I think you’re fine.</p>

<p>Ok, thank you</p>
