Rest assured, the admissions counselor will not stop reading your essay - they may be bored or unimpressed with quite a few of them, but they will be read in their entirety. As a matter of fact, your essay and entire app will be read by at least two counselors.

Are you using the Your Choice? I know with the common app, you upload your essay as a word document and there is no word limit, at least there wasn’t last year, but it will cost you $$.

Fordham definitely superscores the SAT, and I doubt the December SAT scores will be there before the EA decisions are made. The acceptance letters arrived last year around 12/22, so you can assume most of the decisions are made early/mid December in order to coordinate the mailings. So, you can try to send in December scores, but they may not see them before they make a decision.
