<p>many people here say that the word count thins are more guidelines than they are strict limits. but on the app it says, "You must respond to three short-answer questions using a total of no more than 1,000 words." </p>
<p>so.... does it cut you off after 1000 words?</p>
<p>bump... i know this has been beaten to death, but a quick answer would be spectacular!</p>
<p>Hi, I made sure mine were under the 1000...I was real close...but I figured it would be a good idea to follow the directions accurately on the application...</p>
<p>good luck</p>
<p>thanks... i hate editing things out of what i write :-/</p>
<p>I know but I had to do it several times...I took out words that didn't really help get across the meaning I was trying to convey...</p>
<p>start looking at any adjectives that you may not need...that should help remove a few words...</p>
<p>how close are you to the word count...?</p>
<p>I literally just submitted my app one hour ago!</p>
<p>has anyone already submitted one that was over 1000 and was cut off? mine is about 1000 buy about 15 words and im wondering if i should cut it or not.</p>
<p>I probably came to a total of about 1100 when I submitted my application.</p>
<p>ok, as long as it didnt cut yours that means i should be fine.</p>
<p>That's be funny if they stopped reading right at 1,000 words. What if they read up to right where the suspense was at the climax and they have to stop reading?</p>
<p>believe me they probably want to read it as much as we want to write it-in other words they dread it.</p>
