<p>Preferably a current Brown student. 
I am applying RD and plan to submit my application in a couple of days.
I will send you the essay VIA PM.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Hi gustavkimt -
I wanted to ask you how long is your Brown essay? I’m applying to Brown RD too so don’t send me your essay; but I just wanted to know how many words your essay has. Mine has about 950 and I’m wondering if that is too much…
Thanks! And good luck! :)</p>
<p>physex - lmao! :D</p>
<p>lol physex xD
It’s about 580 words, AudreyH 
I didn’t want to go too much over the limit just on principle, though I doubt Brown would mind if you went over as long as everything you said was pertinent/you avoided repetition. Maybe try cutting it down a little so you’re in the 800s? That’s what I would do at least.</p>
<p>Thanks hey! I’ll try trimming it to about 750!</p>
<p>Free bump too!</p>
<p>If I remember correctly the limit was 500…</p>
<p>send it over! i’d love to read it</p>
<p>I’ve sent my application already. You will be hard pressed to have any current Brown students read your papers; it is finals week for a lot of the ivy league colleges. However, I would be happy to fill their shoes and see if there are any egregious flaws with your essay (either with spelling, sentence structure, diction, etc.) Best of luck.</p>
<p>I’ll read it. I was accepted ED to Dartmouth. Brown was my 2nd choice!</p>
<p>uuummmm AudreyH… The limit is 500 words not 750 words… <em>cough</em></p>
<p>I would be happy to ready your essay if you’d like to PM me…</p>
<p>sorry to hijack your forum gustavklimt, but I’ve been wondering if the word limit on essay is a steadfast rule or more of a guideline?</p>
<p>The 500 word limit is definitely more of a guideline than a limit. If you need proof from the horse’s mouth, so to speak, check out Brown’s admissions blog. If you scroll down a bit, you should find an entry where this topic is specifically addressed.</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
<p>Thanks for the helpful info, Dawnwatcher. That’s certainly a relief. My essay ended up being about 620 words with edits.</p>
<p>620 words is fine. I would say that anything over 700 is pushing it on the limit.</p>
