If I do not do it online, and if it’s good, will this pass?
<p>I doubt it. Most essays are requird to be about 500 words. That's double the limit and will be noticable. Anything above 650 words is haneous.</p>
<p>i suppose if it is the most interesting thing the adcom officer has ever read in his/her life, then it would be worth it.</p>
<p>otherwise stick to 500, lol.</p>
<p>It is going to be very hard to predict if it is the most interesting thing the adcom has ever read or not. They aren't going to count the words, but don't go significantly over what they ask for.</p>
<p>If I do say so myself, it is one of the most amazing things I've ever written...</p>
<p>I've run it through writing teachers/professors and they couldn't think of anything to cut; or as one teacher put it "every paragraph and sentence in this thing has a goal or connection with eachother in one way or another, if you took anything out there would certainly be a----void"</p>
<p>so voil</p>
<p>I don't know if you should take this as a prompt to a long-winded essay, but my essay was well over 1000 words and it worked at Dartmouth. Remember, it was Polonius who famously said that brevity is the soul of wit; and as you undoubtedly know, he was a self-righteous bore ultimately skewered by our heartfelt hero, Hamlet.</p>
<p>More matter, less art.</p>
<p>I wrote an essay in response to a prompt asking to write one page about yourself. I have an essay that I really like, but exactly one page means it's only 320 words. Should I write more if I submit it online or just leave it where it is?</p>
