<p>Is the 650 word limit true? In Acing the College Application there are many that are in the 1500 to 2000 word range. Does the Common Application this fall (2013) really limit to 650? I am at 1000. If I cannot do 1000 then I need to create other essays that incorporate.</p>
<p>Yep. The common app cuts you off at 650 words.</p>
<p>Thanks - I hate the Common App.</p>
