<p>Hi I have been wondering if there was a word limit for this essay. On the commonapp for me it shows no restriction, but I have seen on other sites that people have said the word limit is 350-500. Can anyone confirm the true word limit, if any? Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>My D started typing in the CA box for the honors essay and a note came up for 350 word minimum. She then prepared her essay (about 585 words) in a Microsoft Word document and pasted it into the CA box. She got an error message that maximum word limit is 500. So she had to edit it down. So 350-500 is correct.</p>
<p>Oh okay, thank you! That’s very tricky of them. Now I have to do some shortening.</p>
