<p>I wrote one of my personal statements for my UC application, its been edited and basically is in its final version and its 944 words. I thought the word count limit was around 1000 for each, is it true that both essays combined should have a word count of around 1000? Im happy with my final version but if this is true then I have to basically cut it in half. Is it true and what should I do?</p>
<p>Yeah,1000 max for combined. The min for each one is 250 words…sorry.</p>
<p>You can actually go to 1100 before the application forces you to reduce words.</p>
<p>thanks for replying:]
but gerr. ■■■.</p>
<p>Try cutting back on the details and focus on the main idea instead. Good luck cutting down your essay!</p>
