<p>They say a "little over 1,000 - 1,012 words, for example is fine."</p>
<p>What would be considered "over" the word limit for the UC prompts. I think my essays might be edging a little more over 1,050...</p>
<p>Would that be a bit too risky? Or should i go back and condense it?</p>
<p>I don't think they'll care if it's 1,050 <em>1,012 may have just been an example</em>. You should be fine.</p>
<p>The application cuts you off at 1012. It wont let you submit the app if your over the limit</p>
<p>so basically, 1012 is the absolute limit?</p>
<p>no. 1012 was simply used as an example. but i think 1050+ is pushing it. keep it low. shave off some extra words that dont' really serve to answer the prompt. i'm sure you can find fluff somewhere or another in your essay</p>
<p>My bad, I thought it was 1012. But I just checked using my app and put about 1030 words and it could still be submitted.</p>
