UofT's Essay -- how long can it be?


Guest Aidan

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I've just finished the first edition of my UofT essay, and it's 1099 words and 7035 characters in length. Does anybody know if this acceptable, of an I in danger of being disqualified for being 99 words over the 1000-word limit?

 

Thanks!:D

 

Just to let you know a bit about me, I'm a 3rd year Zoology student at UofT. I wrote the MCAT in August, and I'm going crazy writing this application.:(

I would think that as long as you can paste it into COMPASS it should be okay :) ... But I'm no expert. You could call OMSAS or U of T if you're really worried!

 

Good luck with the apps :)

Hey,

 

The COMPASS template will tell you if you are over- in fact, I think that if you are over, you will get an alert saying such and your essay will be cut off at the 8000th character, regardless of where it might fall. So be sure to save your essay on MS Word or whatever you typed it up on, because you will probably have to go back and cut some of it down later.

 

Best of luck!

Timmy
