<p>Right now, my essay + prompt + title is 698 words. The prompt is 26 words, and the title is 5. This makes the essay itself 667 words. However, if the title counts toward the word count, the essay is a total of 672. Does the title count toward the total word count, and if so, can you get away with no title? I’m having trouble whittling these last words down.</p>
Hi, I wrote my college essay and copy/pasted it into the Common App from Google Docs, but there is a discrepancy between the word count according to Google and the word count according to the Common App. I am certain that it was copied correctly and the words were counted correctly. Why is this happening, and are there any negative ramifications?
Hey everyone, The UMich Ross website says to limit my response to approximately 500 words, but when I actually go to the application to enter my essay, it has a limit of 4000 characters, which allows for much more than 500 words. Is it fine if I submit an essay around 550 words since it is lower than the 4000 character limit, or should I cut down to 500 in order to match the website’s ...
<p>i think the word limit is just to give applicants a sense of whats needed, and WHATS NOT NEEDED. Of course there may be a couple of 1200ers but maybe they had a LOT to say about life, but id say just follow the norm and keep it between 400-600 words, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN READING A 500 WORD ESSAY AND A 600 WORD ESSAY IS LIKE 55 SECONDS.</p>

My limit is 500, and I currently have exactly 500 words. Can I include my name on the paper or not? I am scared that I will exceed the limit by writing my name.
So, I wrote my Topic A essay thinking that there was no word or character limit. My essay ended up being 1003 words, 76 lines. And then I checked ApplyTexas and it said IN BOLD, “no longer than 120 eighty-character lines of text (including spaces and blank lines). ApplyTexas recommends that you keep your essay to between 500 and 750 words in length.” I have many sentences that are more ...
I noticed that both the UPitt Honors essays had a 750 word limit. For the regular essays, I know it’s recommended that the essays be between 200-300 words. Does this apply to the UPitt Honors essays too or should I use t…
Hey Guys, I’m currently writing my Why UChicago Essay right now and am starting to get concerned at the word count. For reference, my Personal Statment is around 550 and my supplement about the number of lives is around 650. Based on how it’s turning out I estimate the Why UChicago Essay is going to be around 750-800 words when I’m done. I might be able to hack it down a little, but will ...
Really. 3 words isn’t that hard to cut if you’ve already cut 50 or so (I’d know…I cut a 580ish word essay down to 500 a couple weeks ago).</p> <p>And the Common App will let you submit an essay of any length as long as the file’s within the specified size limit.
