<p>for the uc application, the word count is off by several words. does that matter? for the 600 word essay (on microsoft word i have 600 exactly) but on the uc word count it says 606 words.</p>
<p>no. i seriously dont think they're that anal. Also they have a built in 630 limit.</p>
<p>So when I was applying, I ended up calling the admission office about something and also ended up asking them about how close the total word count of the three essays needs to be to 1000 (it's been a long time(a year...), I hope that's what they're still asking for) and the lady kept repeating the admission officers ask for 1000 words. I managed to get exactly 1000 but I don't want to believe that the admission office is that stuck up. Anyway, I got admitted with exactly 1000 total words.</p>
<p>BTW: 600 is the word count of the long essay, they are only intensely strict about the total word count.</p>
<p>how is this an emergency? Isn't the app due in like 2 weeks? Am I missing something? I haven't even started mine...</p>
<p>its to catch people's attention.</p>
<p>good lol i was getting worried.</p>
