<p>UC word limitation for the application essay is 1000, but they do say it can go over slightly and provided an example of 1012. is 1055 okay?</p>
<p>i'd cut it down to 1020-something if I were you, just to feel a little safer :P.</p>
<p>you want it to be below 30 otherwise the ends may get cut off</p>
<p>Cut out extra words to get it around 1010 max</p>
<p>mine was like 1018 or soemthing like that when I applied to UC's last year</p>
<p>So 1020 seems like the consensus for maximum here?</p>
<p>Mine was like 1030. The funny thing was that my word count was higher in the UC app than it was on my word processor. I hope it doesn't hurt my chances. But it's only 10 words...</p>
<p>^that happened to me too. i kinda figured out that the UC app counted 's as a word. like, "my mother's" would be counted as 3 words instead of 2.</p>
