<p>If you go over the limit for how many words they want in an essay, is it bad? One of my essays I feel is very good, however, it goes over the limit by 50 words. Would this look bad if I submitted it? I feel that if I try to elimiate parts of the essay, it will be weaker.</p>
<p>don't worry about the word limit. But do minimize as much as possible, given that you have said what you needed to say.</p>
<p>I know plenty of people who wrote way over the word limit and had no problems. If the essay is good - admission is willing to read it - especially if its telling them why you want to transfer.</p>
<p>Depends on the word limit in the first place. 50 words over 600 isn't a big deal. 50 over 150 is.</p>
<p>I exceeded limits on each question on every application. Don't worry.</p>
