<p>My essay is coming out to around 900 words. Is that too long and will adcoms hold it against me? Is the 500-700 word limit full on rigid?</p>
<p>Yes. Follow the instructions! If you can’t follow instructions on the application, they figure you won’t be able to conform to the college requirements.</p>
<p>Darn. I figured that but was asking in case anyone did get through with a much longer essay. I have managed to cut mine down to 840-odd now. Anything shorter seems like messing with the essay too much, but I’m trying.</p>
<p>Mine was around 900 as well. =/ eek</p>
<p>at least get to the 750-800 range</p>
<p>Yeah got it down to around 760-770. I dont want to make it too small as i’m sending the same thing as my common app essay.</p>
