patch Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Is the 1200 word max strict or approximate (ie will they cut it off at 1200 words)? Mine is slightly over 1200 words, but less than 4 pages double spaced. From the website: The document must have a maximum of 1200 words (approximately 4 pages, double-spaced), be written in standard Arial (Helvetica) or Times New Roman (Serif) font at a 12-point size, and be double-spaced, with one inch (1") margins on standard Letter-sized (8.5" x 11") paper. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justletmein Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 they have better things to do than count your words.... If you send them an 8-page letter then you might have a problem. Stop stressing about it. As long as it fits 4 pages with the proper font and margins you're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoithinkyouare Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 given how it must be submitted as a pdf, they're likely just to just print off the essays for whomever reads 'em. Four pages is four pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchn2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 i had emailed the faculty of med when i applied last year and they said not to stress about the word limit...in the end i think i went over by a little less than a hundred words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patch Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thanks for the replies. I wasn't stressing...just wanted to make sure . I am around 50 words over and that's after cutting about 200 words. It would be difficult to cut another 50 if I had to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
