<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Is anyone willing to read my common app essay for Harvard? I need help revising and editing to make it 500 words. I'm reusing the quote essay from Stanford.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Stanford's essay had to be less than 4900 characters, which is okay for the Common App - since the common app can't be more than 6000..</p>
<p>yes no?</p>
<p>The common app give you 6000 characters, but they limit it to 500 words.</p>
<p>i dont get it 6000 characters is way more than 500 words. lol</p>
<p>i'll read your essay, i'm working on mine too.
i think i'm reusing my stanford picture one, since my college counselor cried when she read it.</p>
<p>They always give you 6000 characters for all the essays, but they suggest it to be under 500 words.</p>
<p>I'll read it - have submitted mine already (applied EA)</p>

<p>I need help~!</p>
<p>mine is about 1000 words.. would that be bad?</p>
<p>I would think that is a bit long. Its supposed to be 500 words or so, but of course you can go a bit over, since they give you 6000 characters. Its not like they'll count your words, but they will be able to tell if its 500 words over limit.</p>

<p>Whatever u guys decide to do, NEVER cut chunks off of ur essay just because u think it is too lengthy. Around 600-700 is fine, and can actually work to ur advantage. But 1000 is exorbitant.</p>
<p>ill read it</p>
