<p>long? I personally think that I did a good job on the essay but my only drawback is that it might be too long?</p>

<p>Do you think this is true? It is font 12, Times New Roman, Single Spaced, 1-inch margins. The total length is a page and a half and about 875 words.</p>

<p>I am trying to cut it down but lets just say I can't. Do you think this will hurt my admission chances?</p>

<p>Like will the ad. coms. not read it?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>BTW, I skipped like five lines from the top of the first page in order to put my name, school, SSN, and title.</p>

<p>I would cut out the five lines at the top. I'd avoid having an essay tha tlong, but thats just me.</p>

<p>i'd say cut it down and make the heading (name, etc) part of the header so it doesn't cut into your space</p>

<p>My Georgetown essay was about that length when I thought I couldn't cut it down anymore but I've cut it down to about 680 words and everything sounds much more concise and overall better. So just see if you repeat ideas/words or use too many adjectives to cut down</p>

<p>Is it alright if I use font size 11?</p>
