<p>Hi. I’m wondering about word count. UC website says it’s okay to go “a little under or over” on the short essays. They say, 199 or 205. Has anyone tested the over limit more? 210? And how about the longer one, have you successfully gone over on that too? 610? 630? Or does it just matter that the total not be over 1000 so if you go under on a short one you can go over on the long one? Thanks.</p>
<p>When I did mine online last year it would not allow me to go over at all. I think you need to snail mail it if you want to go over.</p>
<p>How ungenerous of it. ;) So, you suppose it counted up your words or just had a certain amount of space you had to squeeze into?</p>
<p>I think it counted the words exactly dude.</p>
<p>Nooo.....I put mine in and the word counter on the website said 206 words.. boooo-yah</p>
<p>It's been a year, but I remember I had to revise mine to make it fit. No big deal. Just work at eliminating unnecessary words dude.</p>
