<p>I know the UC system policy is a little bit over 1000 words. I was wondering: is 1131 too much? I could probably bring it down to around 1080. Any more words cut and my essay will probably look weird. Thanks for your input.</p>
<p>1080 is probably fine</p>
<p>I don’t think 1100+ is a good idea. Once you get it down to 1080, try to go through and rephrase sentences so that they’re shorter. Not only will it look better if you’re not well over the limit, but it will read better if your writing is concise and to the point.</p>
<p>what about 1041 words? I hope that’s okay.</p>
<p>i think that’s about how long mine were and it was fine</p>
<p>1041 is fine.</p>
<p>I’m sure you can somehow bring it down a bit.
i started out exactly 1131 words like you did (coincidence?)
and toned it down about 10 words every 5min i spent on it.</p>
<p>i also ended up with exactly 1041 words (><)</p>
<p>1041 is the magic number then!</p>
