My CommonApp 150-word EC Short Answer is 190 words. Too long?

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>yes. it won't take over 150 words if ur applying online</p>

<p>wierd, it let me upload it without cutting it down. Anybody know anything different?</p>

<p>the maximum is 150.</p>

<p>The common app allows over 150 words. It's probably not a good idea to write over 160, though.</p>

<p>i don't think it allows over that amount. I tried to save mine with 160 words and it rejected it lol</p>

<p>after you put it in, you might wanna take a look at how it comes up on the "print preview" before you actually submit it.</p>

<p>really? mine is 179 and there was no problem pasting it in the box...
thats pretty sketch.</p>

<p>(if anyone had input on their experiences with that word limit, that would be great)</p>

<p>I just had that problem with 180 words. It lets you put in there, but when you submit the application the college, it rejects it. I whittled my down to 154 and it accepted when I submitted, so I think they give you a couple word wiggle room.</p>

<p>It depends on how it turns out. I'll read it for you..</p>
