<p>…and maybe help improve it a bit? the topic is a cultural essay, and what you bring to a certain university.</p>
<p>thanks to anyone willing to help!</p>
<p>hi sorry. its actually 269 words now… but i am stumped now.</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>i’ll take a looksie if ya wanna send it over</p>
<p>I’ll give it a shot. PM me.</p>
<p>i really dont think 19 words is worth fretting over. an admissions person told me that as long as it isnt majorly over (100 words) it isnt really a big deal. if its shorter than 250, then theres a problem…</p>
<p>Is this for the Common Application main essay? If yes, it states minimum 250, not maximum 250 words.</p>
<p>sure i will will try but i dont think it is really a big problem</p>
<p>sure ill read it</p>
<p>Like someone said before, I don’t think it’s that much to worry about. As long as the essay is the best that it can be, I would just leave it as it is. Cutting out things just for the sake of bringing down the word count can negatively affect the flow of the essay. Just make sure it reads well. I have two essays that are about 50 words over and my GC said that was fine.</p>
