<p>so, the limit is 500, but my essay is 622. is this too much over the word limit!?? this is due at midnite!!! so ill any input.</p>
<p>Well unless you are retarded you should obviously be able to see that 622 is greater than 500. Thus, you are over the word limit. Just take off the last 122 words of your essay.</p>
<p>um, unless YOU'RE retarded, the last 122 words are important--they wrap up my whole essay, i can't just take them out.</p>
<p>if the essay is for the common app then it is fine if it is 622</p>
<p>Let me paint a picture for you. The Princeton admissions office is going through your application. The admissions officer responsible for enforcing word limits comes across your essay, and after counting (and double checking) that you are over the word limit, concludes that you cannot count and denies you admission into his college.</p>
<p>Now I know this may come off as a bit extreme, but I would advise you seriously to CHOP OFF THE LAST 122 WORDS IMMMEDIATELY</p>
<p>...this is the common app for nyu and washu...not princeton.
red sox, how sure are u about that?</p>
<p>Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop</p>
<p>...are u sure u know what ur talking about, grits. can i trust ur judgment?</p>
<p>99% sure.</p>
<p>Many people on this website have submitted essays well above the limit and I saw the common app essay of one of my friends and his was 630something and he was accepted ED.</p>
<p>SWEEET. THNX RED SOX. hey, what school did he get accepted to??</p>
<p>What happens if it the online application for admission? Is it really that strict when it comes to word count maximums?</p>
