<p>I know it's suppose to be 150 words or under, but I'm having a hard time keeping it in that limit. Is it a big deal if it is a bit over? How about if it is around 200 words?</p>
<p>I thought that if you sent it electronically, the CA would cut you off after a certain number of words or characters.</p>
<p>It's not necessarily an essay. It's an explanation of one activity.</p>
<p>Hey sak09, I hope you don't mind me asking a question. Dean J, by explanation, do you mean a narration of how an activity has affected me? Or should the explanation be creative, just like other longer college essays? And I wrote my common app long essay on Robotics. However, the EC explanation is about Robotics as well. They both cover different aspects of the acvitity? Do you advise against this? Thanks!</p>
