<p>AHHH I'm freaking out just a little bit over here. I submitted my app this morning, but reading over it now I see that on my Short Takes I left the word count at the end of each sentence.
It reads as "text here, 25" where 25 is the word count.</p>
<p>Will they think I'm crazy? Or is this not really a big deal? Actually, how big a deal are short takes, do we know?</p>
<p>You actually typed in the count at the end??? wow... lol. </p>
<p>I guess its no biggie, unless someone is bigoted against numbers... then you're in trouble :)</p>
<p>i dont think it would hurt too much, the only problem i could forsee is if any of them were over the word count it would draw attention. but even that probably wouldnt make a difference in their decision.</p>
<p>I think you might get rejected for failing to proofread your application right. Lol it's not biggie. They will realize what you did. Common app only checks the character limit anyway.</p>
<p>Is it a big deal that my short takes were in the character limit, but, after submitting it, I realized most were slightly over 25 words? Also, does it matter if my essay was 541 words?</p>
<p>^^^probably not, I highly doubt they’re going to count every single word.</p>
<p>Haha. I think it’s kind of cute and human . Like “My name is…State Your Name.”</p>
