<p>My UIUC essay 1 is currently 373 words, but they ask for "about 300 words." I know I will probably have to ax some sentences, what's the maximum number of words I should have?</p>
<p>I had a 400 word essay and I got accepted. Don't fret too much, as long as your essay is strong, going 73 words over the limit won't hurt you one bit.</p>
<p>whats UIUC?</p>
<p>University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign</p>
<p>They don't pay much attention to essays unless your transcript/ACT are borderline. 373 should be fine.</p>
<p>What do u ppl rite about?</p>
