<p>How bad is this? I cut out over 200 words on the second prompt (most important EC and way), and I only have the important parts of the essay… but it’s still 400 words.</p>
<p>Well, all my essays were over 300 words but not by that much. I am sure if you make it look like it is not a lot (change the font or whatever), they won’t notice. I mean, the admissions people are reading a lot of essays, I don’t think they will reject your application just because of this.</p>
