<p>so my essay is 999 words. Not cool, considering Yale wants a 500 word essay and Harvard wants 2000 characters…could you help me out and read over my essay? Let me know which parts, or paragraphs, can be done away with? I really appreciate it! and feel free to ask me the same favor.</p>
<p>There is no limit to the main essay length (mine is 1.5k words) but you definitely want to cut it down for Yale.</p>
<p>I don’t think Harvard cares since you can upload a document instead of using the field provided.</p>
