<p>I think a key word there is “much.” Over 10%, I think they’d kinda not appreciate it, especially for the supplement, which explicitly said the limit (they’d treat breaking the limit similarly to other colleges, with their essay limits). On the common app itself, a moderate extra is probably ok. Like many things, it won’t make or break you most cases, but keep in mind those little things can add up throughout a long application, so risk what you want to risk.</p>
