<p>Is 610 words too much? I don't think essay itself sounds drawn out, but if they do count it, it is a 100 point discrepancy.
By the way, what would my chances be, I know I should have sent it in earlier but it was too hard to let go of the essay.
1400, 740+ SATiis, 3.77 GPA, Varsity tennis all years, eight years of saxophone(plenty of extracurriculars with the sax). Nothing much special besides some volunteering. Will I get in?</p>
<p>I applied today with 500 words. I had about 600 also, it wasn't hard to cut it down to 500.</p>
<p>1520/800/800/710, International Mathematical Olympiad etc. Chances?</p>
