<p>uhm…what if you were 150 words over on the common app essay? >_></p>
<p>I wasn’t aware of the word limit before I sent it in (since it wasn’t on the application instructions), and then I found out on the FAQ section that it will reflect poorly on me (this is almost verbatim) by seeming to ignore their request. </p>
<p>Yea, I’m screwed…:D</p>
<p>My only hope is that I sent in what I thought was a pretty decent essay, and I really hope they won’t mind the extra 150 words because of the content. Still, I am now eagerly perusing other colleges due to the almost-certain deferral/rejection letter because of the word limit problem.</p>
