mine personal essay is about 1400 words.I got to do risk on this.I have just talked to stds who were enrolled in Harvard,Grg twn,Amherst,MIT and they say its ok if its the best one.So, i am going to send this essay to colleges and regarding 150 words description in Extra Curricular Activities,it has no meaning,I just cud not express and write about myself in those 150 words.So, its very very poor.

The College Board announced today that college prices in 2008-09 rose just slightly faster than the Consumer Price Index. While more financial aid is available for students than ever before, the number of private loans for higher education began to shrink even before the current credit crisis.

the 1400 words is 10 times the given words..
i think itd really too much.. we have 2 think twice if we want to use 1400 in a 500 word essay.. but in a 150 words.!! simply too much

ehh!! mine 150 words extra-curricular act. is abt 145-150 words !!..
its true that we cannot express wt we want 2 in a 150 words essay but i think they look at how well we write our experience in a short version.. not 2 narrate everything!
if u want 2 use that 1400 word essay, u can alwayz use it in the 500 word app essay!

@explicit
check it out whether your college's deadline is 15th november post mark or not?
if it is not postmark then u will be in problem now, as by post u can't send it in 10 days; it needs around 15 days
but i think ur college has postmark deadline; if it is so then u can post it on 15 th itself,no need to worry
