<p>i had my english teacher help me revise the first time, but it was still >700 words but she said it was fine. then i had someone else look at it during winter break and he said it was way too long, so i cut it down to 593 words and that's the one i sent out to the rest of my schools. but many sentences remain the same and the main gist of it is the same.
so, would this annoy them or would it help?</p>
<p>I don't think I've heard somebody get the axe just on the basis of their essay length.</p>
<p>If you're deferred, that signals something less concrete than essay length kept you from an ED acceptance. What probably mattered more was the content of your essay rather than the length. Did you improve your essay as well or did you just take the hedge trimmer to it? Ideally, you pruned off the parts of your essay that were weak, unrelated or confusing. On the other hand, if your essay didn't improve, then the admissions committee might see your resubmission as a sign that you don't understand why you were deferred.</p>
<p>Did you have anyone look over the essay after you revised it?</p>
<p>they don't want another essay to read. If you have other accomplishments, or got better SAT scores then send them that, but no other essays</p>
<p>sending them a shorter, cleaner version of the same essay would basically just make you look like you didn't put in the necessary effort to write the best essay you could the first time around. </p>
<p>if u do send it i'd be surprised if it actually got into your file or got looked at....and even if it did i can't see it having a positive impact on your chances</p>
<p>i'm sending a whole new essay cause my guidance counselour thinks the actual content of my essay/my perspective got me deffered</p>
