Will i get rejected if. . .

Applying to College
1

<p>I exceed the word limit by a couple of hundred words? . . . Due to the bad internet connection in Egypt, I was unable to upload a compressed version of an essay. What should I do?</p>

2

<p>They could get annoyed.</p>

3

<p>They would probably get annoyed. A couple hundred words over is a lot, considering the word limit is often ~500 words.</p>

4

<p>keep it within the word limit and you wont have any problem for sure</p>

5

<p>no you wont i wrote a long Chicago essay and got admitted</p>

6

<p>Chicago doesn’t have a word limit…</p>

7

<p>What do you guys think I should do??. . . Should I tell them that I was unable to upload a compressed essay?</p>

8

<p>Forget it. There’s nothing you can do about it now, and apologizing will just draw attention to it. If it’s an excellent essay, the length won’t matter.</p>

<p>then again. i mean theres a word limit for reason. i dnt understand how ppl can not respect it.</p>

<p>i mean that just shows right there the applicant isnt capable of following basic instructions.</p>

<p>thats my take on it. then again as Northstarmom said, if ur the next twain, then i guess word limits dont need to be respected.</p>
