Essay word count

<p>820 words way too much even for an well-written Philadelphia-focused pg. 217 essay? if so/if not, how do I know that you know what you’re talking about? how little could I shave off and still be ok?</p>

<p>god and I'm having this problem where if I shave it, it just grows back darker and thicker. I thought that was just an old wives tale!</p>

<p>820 doesn't fit on one page?</p>

<p>I'm sure you could play with the spacing and such to get it to fit, if not a little long isn't that bad.</p>

<p>820 does fit. I guess I'm looking for someone with a great deal of knowledge on the subject to convince me that either I'm ok or I need to cut back, providing me with examples to back up their opinions.</p>

<p>My brother got accepted with a pg. 217 essay that was around 550 words. Although short, it was very to the point. If you maintain focus in your 820 words, i wouldn't worry. One page is one page. I know people who submitted 1300 word essays over two pages and got accepted. It really depends on the essay, not how long or short it is.</p>

<p>I'd be glad to read it for you if you want.</p>

<p>one page is one page is one page.</p>

<p>it's too bad nobody got my joke. i thought it was sooo clever</p>
