Deadline question

<p>Stupid question but I just want to make sure.</p>

<p>Theres a deadline just around the corner for me (1/1). Do I have till tomorrow until 11:59 PM to have everything in?</p>

<p>Yes, although I would be sure to get it in by 11:59 PM the college’s time if you are in different time zones.</p>

<p>Alright thanks, also another qucik question. I know that colleges prefer a 500 word essay. How much would it hurt if I kept my essay at 823 words? =&lt;/p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>It would hurt ALOT. If a college gives you an essay limitation, you should really never go over 110/115% of the limit. An 823 essay would start out with a really bad impression.</p>

<p>really? even if it wasn’t repeating the same thing over and being redundant?</p>

<p>wow, I was in your shoes in the EA round. You won’t believe it but my essay was like 900ish words. See, I got deferred. I guess what we should do is pick out something to put in the supp essay(s), or you’ll be talking too much on the common one and dry up when it comes to supp.</p>
