<p>My essay is 19 words over the limit and I'm finding it very hard to truncate my essay even more. Is it ok if I submit my 519 word essay?</p>
<p>mine is 693 words, hun :) I HIGHLY doubt an extra 19 words will faze them.</p>
<p>i wouldnt worry about the common app length too much as long as it doesn't exceed 700.</p>
