eh guys, is 230 too much?

Applying to College

<p>one of my uc p.s. is 230 right now and i really really would hate to have to cut it down...what's the max? (for the 200)</p>

2

<p>200 words.</p>

3

<p>I thought that the total had to be under 1000.</p>

4

<p>**** word limit. Adcoms are not going to count the number of words you have. They are going to finish reading whatever you wrote. That said, don't cut your self short, but don't go rambling on.</p>

5

<p>Be concise. However if you want to tell alot thats fine. All the adcoms iv talked to say the same four words: "Dont worry about it".</p>

6

<p>they want to give u an idea. Dont blabber but dont speak in 1 work sentences...</p>

7

<p>All the adcoms iv talked to say the same five words: "The directions say 200 words."</p>

8

<p>So you are saying that colleges are more interested in you following directions than the actual content? :S</p>

9

<p>Staying within the limit is a good idea. Sometimes people write great and successful essays that go over the limit, but why take the risk? </p>

<p>devitt- I think 230 would be fine, but don't add any more.</p>
