<p>I’m sure my cousin will get to this! (@sakurax) </p>
<p>Typically Admission committee will stop reading around 1,050 as she has told me, not sure if that changed for whatever reason this year. Keep in mind that they do have to print every single thing out and sometimes they get cut off. </p>
<p>P.S.-Hiiii unnie!^^</p>
<p>@ Yunie: haha I just PM-ed your cousin then!</p>
<p>BTW, UCB is the LAST school that would care about strict guidelines and boxed criteria.</p>
<p>@ floobnoobs: You just made my day; I appreciate the response! Thank you.</p>
<p>aww dont worry emilsinclair9! you will be fine.</p>
<p>originally my ps was 1135 but i reduced it to 1027…it was tough…</p>
<p>You should be fine as long as you didn’t hit 1,100. Like others have mentioned, it says right on the app that you can go over by a bit. I think I was at 1,040 (after HEAVY edits from 1,300) and I’m not worried whatsoever.</p>
<p>Haha I just checked mine cause of this thread - 948 words :)</p>
<p>^nice, it looks like u and i are the only ones who kept it under 1000 hahahah</p>
<p>I was about 8 over. 1008.</p>
<p>I just checked mine…1000 EXACTY! haha…I couldn’t believe it…I remember the first draft was like 1300+. It took me like three weeks to get the essays just right…</p>
