Im sorry i have to ask this here but...(regarding UC transfer app)

<p>Off the bat, i DO NOT need my essay read, but i do have a question about it, reason im asking here is the college essay board is just flooded with people wanting to get their essays proofread, leading to my topic just getting pushed away.
My question;
Does the 3rd optional prompt contribute to your word count?</p>

<p>No, it doesn't. However, DO NOT use it to continue your answer for the first two prompts. Prompt 3 is to add anything you were unable to add in the first two prompts, such as, living conditions (if you live alone), why you didn't enroll in college for one or more semesters, or why you have a lot of W's. Unless it's really important information you weren't able to write about in the first two prompts, don't write for the 3rd prompt.</p>

<p>shoot, ill need to add more substance to both of my essays then, although i still plan to use the 3rd prompt for noting unpaid labor(familial) as theres no specific section for something like that</p>
