<p>I've pretty much stuck to the 200/200/600 rule but the total word count of my 3 essays is about 1020 words.. is that ok? thanks :)</p>
<p>yes. theres no problem with going over.</p>
<p>I'm filling out my UC application as well and my essays are slightly over the word limit. I'm not exactly sure, but I think that the online application might actually restrict us. Sorry, if I wasn't much help.</p>
<p>Heres what I know. It will cut off the longest essay at 625ish or so, as far as what my college counselor has told me. The other can be 20ish over as well, but if they are just too long (45 words, etc) then the people wont bother reading that far into them.</p>
