<p>any ED acceptees go over the word limit?</p>

<p>I went over every single one of the word limits actually… But not by much. I never went over by more than 10 words on the essays… And more than 5 on the short answers. So they’ll give you a little legroom, but don’t completely take advantage of it because then you could suffer consequences.</p>

<p>My 500-word essay is actually 720 words…</p>

<p>shouldn’t it be ok as long as it fits on one page?</p>

<p>My essay on a Word doc. (with the standard margins) is over one page. I used this essay for other schools, but I changed the margins before uploading them onto the online app.</p>

<p>I guess I should decrease the font and print preview before I submit this.</p>

<p>i really hate word limits. why can’t they just say keep it to a page or something?</p>
