<p>For this essay, I am a little bit over 150 words. When I pasted it into the web page, it did not cut it, and when I tried to save, there was no error. Should I try to cut it down more or should I leave it as is? I don't really want to cut it, but I will if I have to.</p>
<p>I don't think a couple words over is a big deal. If you're really unsure, check with your college.</p>
<p>If it's really just a little bit over, I wouldn't worry about it. My short answer was 157 words and I didn't even give it a second thought. A college isn't going to reject you over a few extra words.</p>
