essay 超字有多严重?

essay超过字数限制到底有多严重?会直接400字以后的就被自动去掉而成为不完整的文章么?

如果那样怎么也要把字数限制在390才放心阿

网上填工作经历的时候那250个字母就是超过直接没法输入了

网上填的没法超.essay应该没那么严格吧. 我记得UNC说他们不会去数字数的, 大概差不多就可以了. 不过好象有个不要超过5%或10%一说.

At the workplace, I am told that if we have to use 40+ foils in an presentation we really don't know about the topic/proposal.  If you cannot wrap up your story within 2/3 of word limits, you don't have a story to tell then.  When you are hitting the word limit in your essay, you better rewrite it.

我也正被字数折磨着呢.限制500字的essay初稿竟然900多字,煞费苦心的删到700字,实在没辙了. 眼看着deadline 没几天了,郁闷啊!

我认为字数超的不多没有关系,提交上去后基本都是PDF格式的,谁会去数?

当然不能超的太多,ADCOM看的文章多了也大概知道某个字数段应该写到什么程度。

不过如果你的故事很吸引人、很感人,我想他们不会介意多欣赏个几十字的。

发个email确定下把,瞎猜伤神又浪费时间。

我觉得最好不要超,老美一般也比较遵守这个。

还是照规矩办事,and always try to tell a good story of yourself,CONCISELY.

Depends on the school, some schoo like Wharton are ok if you go over 10%, but Harvard will probably throw it right out if you go over (I think...)

as a scholarship committee

most of time we accept slightly more than limit

but when I reviewed more than 100 essays in a short time

it's really obvious that your essay is longer than others

even one more line we can tell the difference

The word limit is to test the applicant how efficient you can express yourself

it's just like the budget of a project

no matter you only overuse 1 penny

it's still over the budget

you're not as competent as others who make the budget

the fastest way is to put the longer one in the bottom of basket

but if the essay exceeds more than half a page

most of time you'll get a deducted score or will be thrown away
