Essay Length

My essay is running longer than the suggested length. Will applyTexas cut off the part that is in excess ?

Is it a suggested length or a required maximum length?

This is from their website:
“ApplyTexas recommends that you keep your essay to between 500 and 750 words in length”.

Then I would not go too far over. I mean, 760 might be fine but not 850.

A good writer can get their point across in less than 750 words and most like to see closer to 500. Go back and edit extra words that are irrelevant or unnecessary to make a point. Be concise. No need to be flowery. You want to stand out but not by writing a fluff piece.

Hope that helps. Happy to review it for you if you want another set of eyes. OR your English teacher (can be any high school level teacher).

That would be a great help. How to reach you?

There is an essay reader group on CC that is not working right now. Feel free to PM me with your essay as well.
