<p>so my personal statement is around 1000 words long. the essay is supposed to be between 400-500 words but i cant shorten my essay without having a negative effect on the quality of the writing. will admissions stop reading my essay because it is too long?</p>
<p>answerrrrrssss pleaseeee.</p>
<p>You might want to try in Additional Information, but chances are, they probably won't read it.</p>
<p>Best thing to do is cut it down. What is said in 500 words but expresses the same as 1000 words is probably better said. Just my two cents. Don't risk not having the admission committee not get a full understanding of who you areon the most important part of the appby having them only read half of what you wrote.</p>
