I have already worked so hard cutting down my Common App Short answer essay to 150. I'm already at 163 and cannot find anymore things to take out to make my essay more concise. Anybody that would read my essay will be greatly appreciated.!!!
Generally 163 words in an essay limited to 150 words is fine. It's less than 10% over. What is wrong, does the electronic common app not let you save it if it is over 150 words or something like that? Or are you just thinking you really really have to follow the instructions.
