<p>the common app asks you to Elaborate on an EC..in 150 words or less. Well I elaborated in 250 words. Is that too long??</p>
<p>100 words? yeah. I kept mine at somewhere around 147, I think (I can show it to you if you want). Bring it down to 200 if you can...they want to see how concise you can be.</p>
<p>Nope, should be fine...mine were a little over 200 words.</p>
<p>thank you both, i got it to about 190 and I think it that should be short enough</p>
