UC Personal Statements Length

<p>How many words is "too much". It tells you to write in 1000 words but that going a little over (the example they gave was 1012) would be fine. Right now my word count for both statements is 1017 and I'm having a hard time bringing it down anymore. Is this too much?</p>

<p>You’re probably fine with 1017. Mine are at 1059 and I’m pretty worried.</p>

<p>doesn’t it just get cut off?</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m pretty sure you can’t submit if it goes over 1000 (it did last year I believe), so you guys better cut down somehow!</p>

<p>You cannot submit if it’s over 1000 words.</p>
