Hey guys! I'm working on my Common App essay and I want to make sure I don't go over the word limit. What's the max word count allowed for this essay? Thanks for your help!
Hey! Good on you for being mindful of the word limit. The maximum word count for the Common App essay is 650 words. It's essential to stay within this limit, as admissions officers have to read numerous essays and won't appreciate reading longer essays. Make sure your essay is focused and concise, highlighting your key experiences and thoughts. Good luck with your application!
