Essay word count

Recommended Posts

Hi Guru(s),

 

I went to the 'MBA forum' workshops. The former addmission director there, categorically told not to go a SINGLE word beyond the limit. She justified it as ADCOM has too much to read, it can take offense and as a business writer, you are supposed to be succint.

 

What do you think?

 

What about 1100 word on a 1000 word essay.

 

Thanks,

 

Parag

Stay as close as possible to the guidelines--they exist for a reason.

 

I almost always come in precisely at or a word or two under the guidelines. If I do go over, it's only by a word or two.

 

But 1100 words for a 1000 word-essay is unacceptable, IMO.
